    And here I thought the CDL was federaly regulated. If it is, then how can individual states dictate their own rules on what they require on the CDL. Now I'm not one that really likes the feds in on much of anything more than protecting our country from forign invaders. But as far as the trucking industry goes it would be alot easyer to follow one set of rules rather than forty eight. Never heard of a special indorsment for metal coils.

    Thats a good point. So one would have to wonder, are the endorsment tests similar state to state? Is it the state it self decide the questions? Or dose the feds just set guidelines for the states to follow??

    I had a current DOT phys before starting drivers school. This new Physical is for Roehl. They do the drug test once your arrive at the terminal. Do you have your CDL A lic or are you going through thier school??

    Metal coil was a B&%$H, it was tricky. I found read the last half is where most of the questions came from. Im going to Gary Ind on the 12th. Im not sure how Im getting there yet. DaWayne said we would discuss that in a couple weeks. Oh, the permit for CDL A wasent bad at all.

    That endorsement is a new one on me. Doesn't seem right that everyone else in the country can haul coils thru NY and you had to pay $5 to do it. Must be another revenue thing...
