Profile For Jeff B.

Congrats!

Thanks Anchorman, that is great motivation and advice. I for one am not giving up on this journey, once I recover from another knee surgery, I plan on getting my cdl another shot.

Jeff, I have heard there is a long wait to get into their training program. Do you know if there is any truth to that?

Toonces, I have misplaced the guy's name from Jim Palmer, but as soon as I find it I will let you know. The guy I talked with from Knight, his name is Steven Mcleod. I asked them both basically what if I failed private cdl school, and they both told me that it wouldn't be an issue (but these are recruiters) so hopefully it is true. Maybe Brett or some of the vets will have more info on this type of scenario. I am sure you will get it this time, I have to wait until I am recovered from knee surgery to take mine again. I wish you the best.

Toonces, I too was embarrassed to announce on here that I failed the backing (alley dock) three times, but there is really no need to be. I had to wait 1-2 weeks in between re-tests with no practice and 30 days after the third time. For me I re-injured my knee, so I have to wait awhile after knee surgery to take it a 4th time. Just because I can't practice and I have to wait awhile to re-test, I called around, and to answer your question if a company paid cdl program will accept you if you didn't pass a private school, the answer is yes. I talked with Knight and Jim Palmer and explained everything to them and they told me that it would not be an issue. I wish you the best, and it sounds like they will let you re-test a 4th time, I am sure you will nail it.

Here is an old one, I wonder if anyone remembers Flatbed Annie and Sweetie Pie?

Thanks for the info guys, I appreciate it.

Hello everyone, I found out today that I need a total knee replacement. Does anyone know if this will disqualify me from driving trucks?

Good luck Jim J! Faith is a good thing. I messed up on my second try by over thinking too much.
