    Please ask someone who knows what the procedure will be for someone going there who already has a CDL-A. I know they do all of the instruction like everyone else but when everyone goes to their home state to test out with their DMV, do the ones with a CDL do a pre-trip test with one of the instructors and then go straight to orientation at their home terminal? I have a friend starting on Monday who cannot seem to get a straight answer. I'm certain I know the procedure but want to verify.
    Thanks,
    Frank

    Welp, it's been a long 2 weeks but I've survived and passed everything! Now I'm on ice for a week waiting for a scheduling jam-up to clear for me to go out with a road trainer. Excited to actually do more than idling, backing and standing around in 115* heat on asphault.
    Glad you made it too Nelson (I'm pretty sure I know which one you were from your forum name there)!
     
    Wilma and inkeper Thank this.
