With my CLP, got stopped at the scale, had to slide the trailer axle to get legal, but no fines -could they have fined me? How much?
Can a student with a Permit (CLP) be ticketed by Law Enforcement?
I did have to go inside to speak with the lady officer. Perhaps my obvious naivete, and a little southern charm, got me off the hook.

Greater discrepancy between dispatched and actual mileage
Very little chance of getting closer to the correct mileage if you say nothing. Likely testing your resolve, don't be a pushover. But choise your battles.

Everything is moving along here. Day 14.
CDL Exam this Friday.
Have driven about 1,900 miles. Last load from Charlotte NC to Staten Island NY: plumbing supply yard in a heavy traffic and small streets, telephone poles have deep truck scrapes. Told trainer wasn't safe for me to navigate that corner with traffic.
Really like the truck stop (Love's) shower rooms! Clean and large.
Truck is slow!! 57 or 62 when on the cruise, but it gets the job done.

Does your license come in the mail?
DMV can only use a physical address. They will not mail your license to a company. You're technically driving illegally since your license address is not correct. I'm at Prime now, wish I drove my car instead of getting the rental -my only regret.
