Congratulations Sam!
Woooo Hoooo! 
Sam, you have proven to us that you are a wrestler indeed! You have wrestled with this step in the process of becoming a professional driver and prevailed. I'm really proud of you!
I've been looking for this post, and very glad to see it. Congratulations!
Sam, That is FREAKING AWESOME! I've been following you around TT for quite awhile. You have gutted it out and persevered. That will get you a long way in this Biz! Congrats Man!

Congrats Sam!! I was wondering what happened, and I'm really glad to hear you finally got it. Really hope to meet you out here one day. Good luck with your training!
Hey, way to go Sam!!

Good luck!!
Awesome Sam. Congratulations. 
Congrats Bro...

I too finally got my CDL A last Wednesday. Took four tries, also had to wait the 30 days after third try. Therefore I know how happy you are. A big congregation! ! I'm also looking at XPO. Let us know how orientation goes. I was told thay have 7500 minimum, with no team training. I would like to know if that's true.

Well the road was long, and it was paved with a lot of sweat and tears, but I finally broke through and passed the maneuvers and driving test today. I am now a proud holder of a CDL.
It was a lot of hard work, and I hate it took so long to get, but I did it. Now I'm going to enjoy it from now until Monday, and then I'm going to get back to work on Monday at orientation for XPO. Thanks to all who have given me words of wisdom and encouragement. It has meant a lot to me.
