    OK, guys, I passed the test and I have a Class A CDL now with no restrictions. Your advice, as well as several hours driving on the CDL test route, yesterday and before, really helped. The examiner at Elk Grove was a nice guy (the only nice guy they have, the rest are evil witches who can barely climb into a truck and seethe with hate). I feel very lucky and happy.

    I am already trucking as I need to move several loads today specifically. Really enjoying truck driving too. To go easy on myself and avoid stress, I drive at the speed limit.
