GOT MY CDL!!!!!!

Well, fellas, I finally did it! I passed my CDL driving test Saturday(6/13) & yesterday I went to DMV & got my license. I also passed my endorsement tests for doubles/triples(T), & also my HAZMAT/tanker(X). I'm officially a gear jammer & I've already got a job lined up & I'll be taking a driving test with this company next week! This is the 1st time in my life I've ever been professionally trained for anything, unlike in my union career as an Operating Engineer & pretty much taking a crash course in every field I've ever been in. I don't care what people say about trucking; this is something I've wanted to do for a while & I'm finally getting to do it. LOOK OUT DOT.....HERE I COME!!!!

Thanks, cchase. It was kinda quick, but took a week or so longer no thanks to living in the smallest state & everybody & their grandmothers making an appointment the same day I did!
