Good for you...seems like you are doing well.
Just a point of clarity for other newbies; the written CDL exams are for the permit only. The actual CDL tests are in three parts; pre-trip inspection , backing skills, and road test. Nothing written.
Good luck.

I just started my second week (of 3) at TDI Oxford. For anyone considering a career in trucking, I can definitely say that this has (so far) been an incredible experience. The instructors are absolutely first rate. The curriculum is exhaustive and complete. If you are able to take and follow instructions, you WILL pass your CDL , which is the beginning of your training. I smoked my CDL written exams (with hazmat and tanks) and am confident that I'll pass the pre trip and drive tests. This school (and the High Road CDL training) has made this a fun and informative journey. I've already had multiple job offers and can now evaluate which company best suits me. I'm not committed to anyone, which is one of the major advantages of going with an independent school. At any rate, if you are contemplating a new career, this is one great way to go
