Congratulations sir!
What a journey this has been for you, and now the real fun is about to begin. You left a career, you left a country, you crossed the ocean, and now you are about to start commandeering a good old American Big Rig across the greatest country on earth. Trust me, there will be days you will question yourself on whether you made the right decision or not, but hang in there it will only get better with time.
Congratulations, and we are looking forward to hearing more from you in the near future!

I am happy to say that I passed my state exam and got my CDL with all endorsements on Thursday afternoon!!!
It's been a long road, but I have it now. I am set to go to orientation on the 30th with either Schneider (dry van) or Melton (flatbed). I am still weighing my options. I wanted a tank job at Schneider, but there are not any openings in my area for a tanker yanker.
Again, thanks to Brett and TT for the immense help I received here. This wouldn't have happened without you.
CDL:
