    Well, I studied Chapter 14 pretty well, but not so much the other chapters. I also took some FREE practice tests on a site, so I thought I was all prepared. However, whatever site I was on had COMPLETELY DIFFERENT questions from what the test had, so I think it was faulty info. I have to say I felt like it was on more than just Ch. 14. There were I would say half of the questions that didn't come from Chapter 14. I seemed to have a lot of questions about lengths, weights and distances. It was only 20 questions. You can only miss 4 questions and pass. I missed 3 of the first 5 and thought "Oh shizzznit, I'm gonna fail in the first half of the test" :biggrin_25521: but then I got all of the rest of the answers correct, so it was all good.

    Hey Big....
    I wouldn't worry too much about the vision. I had to take a vision test before I took the permit test at the DPS, and I passed. She only asked me to read one line to her. You look into a viewer and it's very bright and easy to see. When I got home, I realized that I didn't even have my most current contact lenses in!! The prescription didn't change all that much but still, I'm glad I didn't realize that I had the wrong contacts while I was standing there! I would've probably freaked out. Seriously, if you just had an eye exam I wouldn't give it another thought.

    I don't think Fozzy will mind if I post an update for him-

    Well, according to his FB page, Fozzy was on the road on I-40 to Bakersfield earlier with his new finishing trainer. He said he has 6 days to go.

    I have Stevens at the top of my list as I will graduate in late December. Can anyone tell me what I will top out at? Do they run any other trucks besides the T2000? Also, is it true Stevens is installing APU's on their fleet?
