Third Time's A Charm

Congratulations!
There wasn't a doubt in our minds that you could do it, but I wouldn't be looking for any "peaches and cream" just yet - let's just say you got the easy part over with now.
Every day is a new challenge in this career. When you wake up each day it's a brand new clean slate before you. Keep plugging away and keep it foremost in your mind that you don't want to hit anything. I'm serious about this, if you have to drive fifteen or twenty miles out of route just so you can avoid a risky tight turn, you are better off to take it slow and safe.
Again, Congratulations!
Woo Hoo!!! Congrats!
Congrats man!!! You're right, it makes no difference how many tries it takes as long as you have that CDL. Excellent!

I finally passed my skills and driving portion of the CDL test yesterday and now have my class A license. It took me three tries but that's ok, just glad that part is over. And I hope never to have to do that again. Started school on Dec. 1st. and now finally done with that. Now it's all peaches and cream, right? lol Thank you to everyone on this forum that took the time to offer me encouragement and advice. And thank you to this website's administrators for making this place possible.
