Thanks Sue and Barb. I passed my CDL learners permit test today. I don't know how other schools work, but I have 6 more weeks to learn to pass road test. Good luck to all. I like my school. Small classes, more one on my new time.

Got my learners permit! No sweat, well maybe just a little sweat. I am doing well on class work and tests. We have started on pre trip test work and will start hands on pre test this week. Weather is bad unfortunately.
All you ladies need to start posting! Ladies of trucking is the future.

Jaz, if you haven't already make sure to complete as much of the High Road Training Program as you can. It might be difficult to do all of it depending on how long you have until you take the written, but try. It is a great resource and will leave you very prepared for the written test. Honestly, the exam is not that bad and is usually the easiest part of this road for most people.
