I know this may be a silly question but. I took my G.K test and skills and passed and now have my Class B license. I am thinking about going back to school to get my class A. When I get to school, will I have to study and take the G.K. again in order to obtain my class A? Is the class A & B G.K. test the same?
Thanks again for all your help folks.
All I had to take was Combination to upgrade from B to A. I already had airbrakes on my B.

I just wanted everyone to know I started at Western express on Sunday finished my orientation and passed all my load securement tests .. I thoroughly have enjoyed everything about this company I read horror story after horror but this company has been great. They own their own hotel. You get breakfast , lunch, and dinner for free.
The staff are very friendly and more then helpful. Tomorrow I leave for my 2 weeks otr training. Thank you Western.
Which training location? I've heard no free dinner and lunch is a bottle of water, bag of chips, and ham on a bun.

Question about trucking companies that train for an upfront fee?
Check your local community college for a program. I attended one for less than $1000, 6 students, tons of drive time, and 8 weeks long.

Pretrip Inspection (Or How I Figured Out I'm Going To Need To Study REALLY Hard)
You don't have to know how things work, you just have to know the components and say that they are properly secured, no leaks, and no damage. Those are the key words that apply to just about everything. Of course knowing how they all work is good to know later on when you are actually pretripping your truck.

I haven't been on here in a few months but I just got my CDL last Thursday and I graduate my school on Friday. I've applied to several dozen companies and have had 4 call me back and are trying to move me forward with orientation. USXpress, May Trucking, Super Service, Wil-Trans are the 4. I'm a little overwhelmed on which one to move forward with. I'm leaning more towards May or Wil-Trans. Should I go with the one that pays the most after I go solo? which would be Wil-Trans (.40/cpm)

General Knowledge for A and B
No, you don't have to take GK if you already have a class B. All you have to take is Combination plus any endorsements you want.
