This is the truck that I passed my CDL test in yesterday. It was a long day but in the end I passed. The others ask me what my grade was, I told them I didn't ask because all I cared about was that I passed. dancing-dog.gif It has been 8 long weekends in order to achieve this and I just got to say "I'm darn proud of myself for this achievement." The greatest comment I got was from my son who said "Dad, I'm proud of you." That was worth it all for me. As you may noticed I changed my profile from "In CDL School" to "Driver in Training" next stop Amherst Wisconsin to H.O. Wolding to start the next chapter in this story. Looking forward to seeing what lies ahead for the future. God Bless Everyone and Have a wonderful Christmas and New Years.

  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

Took another look at your post . Consider yourself trained ! You took your road test with a full length trailer and a sleeper .

As far as I know ( from the vehicle in the parking lot during initial paperwork ) the school Im going to uses a day cab and pup trailer .

Im not thrilled about this but obviously willing to accept it as its WIA funded training and start to finish my cost out of pocket is minimal .

~S~

Day Cab:

A tractor which does not have a sleeper berth attached to it. Normally used for local routes where drivers go home every night.
