So many of you know the humbling saga I went through recently by not passing the Oregon DMV CDL skills test (backing ) 5 times and being forced to wait 1 year to retest. As of Monday, I made the jump to Washington state and passed the combination vehicles, air brakes, and general knowledge exams.
New cards should arrive in the mail Monday, in the mean time I am working the painting gig part time and also helping out an independent metal worker in his shop.
Hopefully I can get some positive bites, things are looking up and I am still plugging away at life. Just posting my updates...
Thank you all
Moe

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
A vehicle with two separate parts - the power unit (tractor) and the trailer. Tractor-trailers are considered combination vehicles.
The state agency that handles everything related to your driver's licences, including testing, issuance, transfers, and revocation.
Excellent news! Rooting for that momentum to carry ya forward!
Great to hear Moe.
Keep us updated on your progress.
Moe,
That's great news! Still very much a work on progress here myself but if you really want to do this and are willing to do whatever it takes... no one (but you) will be able to stop you.
Keep pushing on! Soon you will have the wind at your back!
