I am a licensed plumber have been in the business for 25 years, my wife has a good paying job as well, but it is too physically demanding. I know trucking is as well just in a different way, plumbing has been good to me and the pay is good. If you have been in construction you know that I am not afraid of hard work, so after weighting the pros and cons, the wife and I are going to take to the road as a team. It was her Idea, but I grew up in a trucking family, been on about 30 trips as a child and liked it. She has it in her head this is what we need to do...lol. No, seriously we are wanting to work together, driving pays well and will give us that opportunity. Lord willing we plan to drive until retirement.

Hello, everyone, my wife and I are going to make the plunge soon. I have passed my DOT Physical, but Failed the first round of exams only passed air brakes which I did study for and combination which I didn't study for because I did not know it was on the test, so I am here for help. Many of the questions on the test that I took were not what I studied. For instance Tar makes the road slippery...In my road it is sticky...and steer around a hazard which I selected but was wrong because I should have stopped??? Which was not in the book, stopping is not always best is what my book said...lol I get it, but many of my questions were so far out into left field I failed by 3 questions. I guess I should have skipped them but didn't, as I can be stubborn...Do you guys know how to select the High Road program for NC....The first test on the High Road matched up but the second didn't. Can I select the program for my state? If so I cannot find the proper link for the program. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We are serious about making this change. I am quitting my 5 year job starting school in about 3 weeks, once I am out, she is going to school. Many thanks again for any insight into how to study for the NC CDL A with H and Doubles endorsements. BTW the test was worse than my Plumbing license test which I passed first time, it was a 5 hour test, but this one seems to ask irrelevant questions designed to make you fail, I am much better with facts than slippery variables like Maybe or Could have Been which about 10 of my questions were.

Yes I am finding out it was only a couple differences in the beginning but most are matching up now...It is making a difference...I realized quickly after starting the program that I was not taking my time reading the questions. I was just selecting the right answers and missing words like except...lol did it on the test because, I was like there was no way that answer was incorrect...Thanks for letting me know
