Woohoo just want to say i passed all 6 CDL tests minus the passenger because i am not going to hassle with that right now the first time. Hazmat was the hardest test and i got 4 wrong and was only aloud 7 so i got kinda nervous at the end there lol but i did it. I got my HAZMAT endorsement the first attempt. Even the dmv people were surprised, as they said getting someone who passes the tests the first time is very rare. Made me smile. I do think truck driving is for me and i can't wait to hit the road. I go to orientation with my company 11/3.
This all happened lightning quick as i got fingerprinted on monday was accepted on weds and tested today thursday. They said it would take 30 days and it took 48 hours lol. Guess being ex military with a TS makes a diffrence too.
I would like to thank truckingtruth.com for the material needed for the hazmat.
