SLOW DOWN Be very smooth and gentle with steering and braking. Triple your following distance. If it's raining with temps close to freezing,watch the vehicles passing you to see if water is coming off the road from the tires.If it does,you're OK,if not,you're probably on ice.

If you transport any US Military loads where you pick up or deliver on any base,your truck and trailer get thoroughly searched,every time. They make you open all doors and compartments,including the hood and make you wait in a separate area while they conduct their search.
Firearms of any kind are are forbidden by civilians on base.
They also do a background check on you while you're there and will give you the boot if they find something,loaded or empty.

I’d add that I am located in Rhode Island.
Additionally, I did try to sit for the exam before having a TSA clearance check performed. I did not know that, at least in RI, you had to have the check done before sitting for the exam. At the window that day, the clerk asked where my letter was...hence why I am asking, and also confused, as to the whole thing about TSA sending notifications/letters directly to the DMV instead of applicants themselves.
It's the same in Massachussetts...pass the background check,then go in for the exam
