Just Passed The Permit Test Now On With The Hard Stuff.
Topic 6545 | Page 1
Just a note to say I passed the CDL permit test. I was able to pass the General Knowledge, Air Brake, Combination, Double and Triples, and the Tanker Portion of the test. I did not take the hazmat or passenger portions because they need approved backround checks before I take them. So I feel elated and am ready to celebrate my small victory with a slice of Key Lime Pie. Thanks to everyone here. Brian
Good for you Brian! Have a piece of key lime pie for me too!!!

Good job Brian!!!!!!!
I also took my exams today and passed with flying colors. Similar to your situation I am in California and will be taking my Hazmat soon as well. Does anybody know how long it takes for the background? I am leaving after the first of the year and don't want to make an attempt if it won't clear before I start school. Anyways I can finally relax for a day or two and then start after the Hazmat endorsement. Good luck to all of you.
