Well it's been 12 days since you touched the High Road Training Program so I guess you let someone convince you there's a better way to prepare for the exam. And you skipped a couple of sections you were supposed to do for the permit.

But good luck.

Lol the scolding teacher.

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

PS I also did all the sections I was supposed to, according to what was said on here. I didn't do stuff such as doubles and triples (I never want to drive those), passenger, hazmat (I wanted to, but ran out of time) and probably something else. I also scored high (90's and 100's) on pretty much everything.

HAZMAT:

Hazardous Materials

Explosive, flammable, poisonous or otherwise potentially dangerous cargo. Large amounts of especially hazardous cargo are required to be placarded under HAZMAT regulations

Doubles:

Refers to pulling two trailers at the same time, otherwise known as "pups" or "pup trailers" because they're only about 28 feet long. However there are some states that allow doubles that are each 48 feet in length.

HOS:

Hours Of Service

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.

PPS something is not right with your recording of my activities on here because I was still studying in the high road program a few days ago.

The Driving Exam and Pre-Trip Inspection sections are for the permit also. If you were doing a bunch of practice questions you might be ok. Hard to say.

Pre-trip Inspection:

A pre-trip inspection is a thorough inspection of the truck completed before driving for the first time each day.

Federal and state laws require that drivers inspect their vehicles. Federal and state inspectors also may inspect your vehicles. If they judge a vehicle to be unsafe, they will put it “out of service” until it is repaired.

It records the last time you were logged in and submitted a set of scores. The last time you submitted any scores: 2015-12-12 17:19:18

BMI:

Body mass index (BMI)

BMI is a formula that uses weight and height to estimate body fat. For most people, BMI provides a reasonable estimate of body fat. The BMI's biggest weakness is that it doesn't consider individual factors such as bone or muscle mass. BMI may:

  • Underestimate body fat for older adults or other people with low muscle mass
  • Overestimate body fat for people who are very muscular and physically fit

It's quite common, especially for men, to fall into the "overweight" category if you happen to be stronger than average. If you're pretty strong but in good shape then pay no attention.

Like I said, something is not right. I went in there to study just a few days ago. I don't remember seeing driving exam as part of the study for the permit in the post I read from someone on here. I'll bring my book and read that section, although the school didn't circle that part to study either. I'm sure I'll have some time to read while I wait.

I'm kinda sad to read Brett's post, because if I succeed this morning, it will be BECAUSE of the high road program. After I studied on here, I was looking to find online practice tests, until Brett told me he had one on here, which I went to and did very well with. I did not study the driving exam part, indeed...because I didn't recall it being mentioned in the post someone had mentioned. I will try my best to study that this morning, while I wait.

Well as long as you've been studying our practice tests and looking up the answers as you go through them you should do fine since you already went through the majority of the High Road. But the problem with practice questions is that no one knows what questions they're going to ask. That's why it's important to keep reading through the materials. You can study a million questions for a million years but if they don't ask those same questions it may not go so well.
