    Well, i got the first part of getting my CDL complete. I got my DOT physical and drug screen completed then went to the local DMV and took the written exam which i passed and also got my 7 year driving history. I was nervous about taking the test but i studied my butt off for 3 weeks and didn't have much trouble. Now, i'm just waiting for class to start on Jan.6 at my local community college. By getting all this done now, i'm ahead of the game as far as school goes. i will try to post more updates and post stuff on my blog page.

    Yea, i understand, but i'm taking my time and trying to do things the right way, prepare myself and not jump into anything too quick. btw, I almost went to CR England to get my training but quickly changed my mind when i done a little research 8).

    Congratulations.Getting you CDL then in time going solo is not easy but pays off if this is what you truly wanna do.

    In the long run, going solo is the best way to go. Teaming up with an incompatible or otherwise wrong team driver can be PURE HELL ON WHEELS!

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    Good deal hoptrot! Now the fun begins! The first day in the seat you'll be sweating bullets. Go ahead and roll the window down even if it's 35 degrees outside. :)

    Training can be a fun experience. I know I enjoyed mine not like the many horror stories your read.
