Well now I can move my posts back here. rofl-3.gif

I did it. Thanks to TT and all the uplifting and helping hands I got here.

I passed my CDL-A today.

I am now officially a driver in training.

Tomorrow I do all the paperwork required for Celadon. I start practice dock backing. Monday I start orientation. Three days of that then on the road with a trainer.

Watch out, I will soon be on the road. rofl-1.gif

Keep it safe out there. Joe S

As I will be watching for you too. I agree on dinner some time some where. I might even buy. If you aren't a big eater.

What am I saying. You are a flatbedder. You have to stay in shape. rofl-3.gif

Now about a week and a half more training and orientation. Then trainer and hit the road.

Keep it safe out there. Joe S.
