    I passed my CMV test today. Even though I thought it was very straight forward, it was the most nerve wracking I've ever done. lol Happy New Year to all!

    Thanks, and I will. I still have a three weeks left of training on a 10spd and a bigger trailer. Took the test in a 6sp and 28ft trailer. Drove the 10spd on Friday, man what a difference compared to the single cab tractor. Anyway, have a good New Year.

    Congrats on passing the test! Most of the "hard" part is just about over-usually whoever you end up with for a company trainer is a little easier than when you are testing BUT he/she may be a little strict,after all they are teaching company practices and rules AND "real" world situations! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO you and yours also!

    Hey guys. Took a hiatus from website. Most just day to day truck driving and whatnot. Feb 3 I made a year and a half with swift. Just switched from an international to a volvo. Its cool so far. How has everyone been?

    Just got a Volvo, betrayed my international, I think it put a hit out on me internationals are following me around more than when I was in one.... so if I go missing it got me. Anyway I never really liked Volvos from what I heard about them but this one so far so good. This thing is a beauty.
