    Thanks to your answers to my crazy questions. I passed the written for CDL today (on first try).

    Completed the general knowledge, air brakes and Combination vehs. Saving the endorsement tests for later. Want to complete the basics first.

    Now covering the pre-trip test.

    Still wrestling with selecting a CDL school but I'm moving forward regardless.

    Thanks again.:biggrin_25523:

    Mark, Was there any doubt that you would not pass? See guys like you(and me) put to much doubt in our own minds, When you start driving a truck send that doubt packing, make it a sure thing by getting out of the seat and going and looking! I can not think of a worse enemy then ourselves, If you can get that part done you can get the rest of it done.

    Now for another topic on this same newbies quest! You mentioned that you are trying to decide what school to go to, You know what? If you go back into your profile and put where you are then we too can maybe help you with this decision. It isn't a big deal, we won't show up at your house while you are at school and take your electronics and steal your food. If all the newbies can do this in their profile these older guys can help you, I said these meaning not me, because i am just starting out, I know nothing compared to these others!. thanks. Good Luck out there.

    Josh, did it hurt very badly when you put that you are from Old Bridge NJ? Did the loss of hair in that area embarrass you any? I am just trying to make a point here. It doesn't hurt to put where you are from.:yes2557: And not doing a very good job at it.:biggrin_25512:

    Wth are you talking about hair loss cause im from old Bridge, nj. That makes no sense that your trying to make fun of a actual town and did a piss poor job of it. If your gonna try and make a joke about me, at least make it a good one. Guys shouldn't use emoticons against other guys, just saying.

    luvtotruck, thanks for the feedback. I'm in Pasadena Calif(updated the profile -but please not unannouced home visits:biggrin_25520: ).

    Still working on getting the funding for school. A worksource grant fell through today. But maybe since I've already passed the written I'll get a discount on driving school. Thanks again!

    Mark

    No unannounced home visits will take place, till we know you are gone! :biggrin_25512: See that didn't hurt a bit did it? Now explain it to the others who don't understand it!.
    Nah for the most part we are all a good group of folks, till ya start trouble then we band you to the exhaust stack in the winter and see how long you last breathing that fresh NE Air! We call exhaust out here where I'm from.

    Thats cool that you pride yourself on a post count here, im hear to learn, not read half ### jokes about where Im from. It's obvious that your hair loss joke was lame and made no sense. But you obvisouly didn't realize I actually followed direction and put my actual location, so your point is invalid. Yup you're right i'm the moron cause I put my actual location in.

    There were a few things that helped me prepare. You're probably already using most of them. But just in case I've listed them below.

    Of course, the practice tests on this site are good.

    And there are also good youtube videos.

    Like the below video.

    The videos by this guy were pretty good. He's selling software ( I didn't buy it) but his videos are good.

    Good luck
