Winter Driving Thread

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.

Conceal carry question

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.

Old unpaid tickets prior to cdl

Yes,it will show up

I had an unpaid reinstatement fee from out of state that never showed up when renewing my regular license,but it came up when I went for my CDL learner's permit.I had to pay it before they would let me test

TSA HAZMAT Clearance Letter

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

For the camera,their SAFETY DEPARTMENT should be able to answer any questions/concerns you have

Maybe you could talk with the shop manager concerning what's allowed for "creature comforts"

Thinking of going to CDL training at a local VoTech on weekends. Is this a good idea?

I did weekends It was the better option for me at the time as I was making very good money at my last job We were only 5 students in the class(started with 9),so we all got a lot of seat time and one-on-one attention The following class had 27 people,so I'm sure a lot of them struggled

The company I went to work for reimbursed me for the cost of school(xxx amount per paycheck)
