I haven't heard of anyone called Joker. No Jeff either.

When I was there earlier in the year, I had both of them. Jeff on the range and Joker for the 90

Final Week

So I finally took my CDL exam and passed. It feels good and now I get to move forward. The next steps are 45 backing and a safe driving test. Then you attend Orientation for about 2-3 days. Once those are passed you become a Celadon employe.

The next step is to be assigned a trainer and hit the road for 10k miles.

Thanks to the entire CDA staff and I wish everyone well.

Hey CidRay, just wondering if you needed to go to CDA with a permit already or if you could acquire it at the school. I'm still on the fence about Celadon and still doing my research. Thanks and good luck out there!

I attended the school in Indianapolis, IN and only residents of Indiana don't need a permit. Indiana residents are given the opportunity to take their permit test through Celadon.
