    That STILL doesn't mean you have 13 years experience. lol No comparison being a kid sitting "behind the wheel" or even driving on farms, etc.
    I have operated CMV's on the road since I was 21 years old (I'm 59 now), but nearly all were B class, including 80,000 lb GVWR concrete mixers.
    This was before they even had "CDLs".
    But I still list only 2 years Class A truck driver experience because I've only driven a semi for 2 years.

    And Tony is not correct. It's well known he has played "Doctor", but prior to him having his son.;)
     
    Tonythetruckerdude Thanks this.

    I think that's a good idea. Let's try to curtail the off-topic bickering, please. Thanks.

    Mesilla Valley will take grads....from their school. I applied there when I refreshed my license and they told me to come back in a year. I guess maybe they've upped it to two years due to their csa score.

    Trucking is my life. My dad is a truck driver. All of my uncles are truckers. All of my cousins drive trucks. I'm currently going to vocational school for diesel repairs. This month, having cdl and inspection class.
