Oklahoma CDL nightmare...

I didn't read your wall of text. Hit the enter key every 4 sentences or so. You really have to approach the pre-trip portion of the test with the mindset of a robot. Keep saying the same phrase over and over again about each and every little thing you see. Everything!

"I'm checking blah blah blah for any leaks, loose, cracks, corrosion" etc etc no matter what. Doesn't matter is if can leak or not. Doesn't matter is if can corrode or not. Doesn't matter if it can crack or not because there are no penalties for those things.

Just say the phrase like Robbie the Robot about each and every single little thing you see and you'll pass.

 

Lets not worry about who is in office.

You tend to yourself and things will work out just fine. Nations rise and fall all the time. You worry about yourself. =)

 

You could take the entire CDL course at Central Tech in Drumright OK for less that 5k and they have housing included in the tuition. They test every week on site. There's really no surprises, they take you on the test route during training and warn you of where people mess up. All your backing is done in the same area you practice on for weeks. Plus it's two students per truck, that's much better than what I've heard about other schools. And it's run by the state, they want you to pass.
