Guys, were going to have to agree just to disagree, and agree that the VW was a moron. K?

You have to have a permit before you get started. They then bring you to Joplin for the drug test. If you are going to the student program, they will send you to school. If you went to school on your on, you will go through orientation. Bring your receipt for school. They reimburse up to $4,000, spread out over a year.

I still say a judge/jury would find against the driver in a civil suit. And all the driver had to do was hit the brakes to avoid this. We see this everyday. We've been told to anticipate drivers doing what the VW did.

Donnie, I know it sucks being away from your wife. I have had to live that life. Can't wait until she can go to school at the beginning of the year. One big picture bonus of you two having separate trainers is having two learning references when you two are driving. So if your trainer isn't as strong in teaching something, and hers is, she can help you. Just a thought.
Jason, XPO runs just about all of the lower 48 and Canada.

I'm 20k paid miles solo, and I still suck at backing. I do a boogie dance those few times I get it backed without looking like I've never seen a big truck before. Just keep working at it as best you can.

Not necessarily. Every cdl manual states the needed following distance for a combo vehicle. This video proves he didn't have that distance. The drivers company insurance probably broke their neck to settle this one.

North Wilkesboro Speedway....😢
Unfortunately, in today's NASCAR, a guy like Alan Kulwicki wouldn't have been able to win Rookie of the year without having a major sponsor. Days of an indie guys making a big run are done.
