Permit
Topic 30699 | Page 1
I passed my permit test!!!! Although it is just a written test I was a bundle of nerves! The first thing when I go into the license bureau a guy said he has been driving for 20 years and wished he picked something different...Not a problem I see people like that in every career honestly
A big shout out and thanks to Brett for this wonderful site and The High Road training by Brett could not have passed without it. Thank you, very truly thank you
Christopher! , IMHO .... that's the 'hard part!!' I got that far myself, twice.. .LoL.
Congrats, good sir. Great to have you here, in Trucking Truth!!
To the guy that said 'wish he'd picked something different ...' was that Johnothan's dad, perhaps ?!?!?
TWIC:
Transportation Worker Identification Credential
Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.

No it was not, but honestly reminded me of him. Just angry.

CONGRATULATIONS!
Man, this is EXCITING! Your relationship with The Lord is probably much better than mine, but I hope this brings you closer to Him. It has for me.
I’m pretty sure if there was a “study” done, it would prove Drivers who start here have a near 100% success rate at making it through the first few years.
Congratulations!!!!! WOOHOO!
Congratulations on this big step!
Congratulations Christopher! We are so glad the High Road CDL Training Program helped you.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- 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.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
My girlfriends father is a ex truck driver, he retired from the teamsters, He is checking with some people he knows to see if they can train me locally so I can get home on a regular basis. If not I will be attending a CDL school. I realize that a company sponsored CDL school is best for training, but if I can get a job driving and get consistent home time with training, as a minister I have to take that option. If it does not work out I will stay at least a year, and then move on.
