    Down here in the dirty south no bribes are necessary. All you have to do is say” big effing truck” in any language other then english and they give one to you.

    Sounds like the place up in missouri. The instructors didnt even test. While i was doing all my crap for hazmat and tanker i was there about 4 hours. And anyone non white or non english was just given a license. No testing, no documentation, no nothing. And the one lady who questioned it was fired on the spot when the dude started yelling racist ans the dude who was clearly an illegal got a license.

    Makes you wonder just how many drivers on the road were even trained.

    Heck I did not even have to pay a bribe. My road test waved by examiner. *who has been dead +30 years*
    He knew me, knew I drove everything exempt for farms for decades. Said it was a waste of his time.
    My Class B I passed before I went 50 yards.
    Extended van had vehicle 2’ either bumper. I got it out, unassisted, no scratches. “Just drive around the block, find a better parking place. You passed”

    Doesn't surprise me. The vast majority of truck drivers on the west coast are foreigners that can't drive worth a ####.
