Duke R.'s Bio

I'm a Team Driver for Celadon. I've been driving for 6 months now and it has been a life changing experience. I was in the Marine corps from 98 to 02 (5811 MP) and after discharge I ran a Private Investigation firm until 2006 them went to Iraq as a PMC Private Military Contractor for TC and after losing My Best Friend Jason to a RPG that also crushed the side of my face and shattered my Teeth,Life,and Dreams. Coming Home I found it hard to adjust to life after 3 years at war and was Haunted and considered I may never feel right again. One experience there got me interested in Trucking and that was when running convoy security if a KBR Trucker was killed or wounded then one of us Mercs would need to get in the seat and drive and I really liked it. I got into Celadons Driving Academy after loads of research and it is the best decision of My life. The open Road and people I meet and My Team Driver Brad is a Vet ex EOD and it helps to have someone who understands the challenges a Veteran can face and We are the best of friends and anticipate and of the same opinion on most things. Trucking saved My life and I live life on the road mostly Nightmare and Guilt free and I drive in Honor of all those who didn't make it back.

What Constitutes "General Knowledge" for the CLP

The CLP test is the easy part then You have Pre Trip, backing,and Road test and the hits keep on coming training training training but if You want it and willing to listen and pay attention You will do fine Bill. Just don't go in there expecting it to be the same as driving class B it's more involved

Bill I cant speak for Florida, but in KY I already had a class B as well, and took the permit test for class A last week and only had to take the combination I also done tanker endorsement. as far as Haz Mat I can't apply or take the test until I get my license. Again this is for KY but you should be able to call the DMV there in FL to find out that's what I did here.

Rainy D is right Tanker was easy.

Good luck
