Profile For In The Know

I don't see how my questions are loaded with critisisms. I just am curious about things at this point and when calling those people... I really just wanted to know the real answers. How is that critisizing?

I would think you would have some kind of tug... Oh well... dog-poo happens...

At least you're still in the game!

I called the Phoenix CDL School to ask about this tanker question and the guy could not answer it. He tells me he only trains for the road test. But I then state that because he has to have his CDL to train and in the trucking industry that he would know the answer. He just kept trying to slide out of it! Wow...

I also called DOT to ask the hazmat question and they transferred me several times and the guy I finally got to did not know the answer. He did take the time to do a little research, though he came back with the incorrect answer. He told me for AZ that I need to re-train every 3 years and retest every 4 years. WHAT?? Unbelievable! Now I ask... am I getting into the wrong business?

Hey, I was wondering why these questions are somewhat the same and yet have different answers? Can anyone make sense of this? I will be taking the CDL test tomorrow morning. I have found many issues in the testing online and in written question and answering booklets gotten from a trucking school.

Dividers inside tankers that have openings at the top and bottom are called this? baffles

Dividers inside tanks that have openings at the top and bottom are called? bulkheads

I have also found a discrepancy with the years of re-training for Hazmat and some say 3 years, some 4 years and I just ran into one test online that says 2 years. Holy crap! I'm in AZ and found it in the manual to say 3 years is the time-frame to be re-tested.

I wonder how you didn't even feel it?
