I was issued my CDL this afternoon. Thank you to everyone that takes the time to both ask and answer questions on this forum on a regular basis!

I travel to Springdale Arkansas for orientation with Tyson Foods on Monday. Orientation starts Tuesday. It's amazing to think that by next Saturday I could be in a truck with a trainer "doin the dang thing!"

I'm so excited I even bought one of those little container thingies for my toothbrush, lol.

Thanks again!

Thanks guys. It's a really weird feeling. I go to school for 5 weeks preparing for a test.

Then, I do an air brake, backing, and road test. 45 minutes max. The guy says, " Good job, let's go inside and issue your license."

It's so anti-climatic!
