Quick Question About Prime And The Cdl
Topic 9525 | Page 1
My student had the same issue. Speak with your instructors DM or Steve Larson (the guy near that grumpy lady you talked to) and ask him to advance you the money. That's why my student did when he was in your situation. It shouldn't be an issue.
Dm:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
So I passed my test today and have to get my cdl tomorrow. What I wasnt expecting was the 75$ charge for the cdl. I dont have 75$.And before anyone says anything about the 200$ every friday, I bought nicotine, groceries, and paid my cell phone bill. Im down to 49$ cash in hand. They told me to come here with 150$ nothing was mentioned about another 75$.
Sounds like the perfect time to cut the nicotine out of the budget...
CDL:

Lol..sounds like the groceries need to go.non smokers need to realize,without all the tax money pouring in,you probably wouldnt have many services you enjoy.just imagine paying $11 for your morning coffee or other breakfast item. Im tired of being over taxed and under respected,just because I smoke...and get the chimpany to pay the fee!

Look up how much EACH federal judge in the supreme court is paid ($200k+ until death).
I feel you there. Instead of out rageous tax on cigarettes: Let's tax more realistic deadly afflictions, such as fast food. I think $10 minimum flat tax should be fair. Two 3,000cal pure fat burgers from McDonald's should be $20 + $0.99 * 2 = $21.98; Very fair. Cigarette pack (20) should cost no more than $1.08.
In the mean time: First trip to Missouri you get... Buy Decades! $1.50/pack or so, after tax. Taste identical to a $8 Newport. :)
