Started CDL school Monday. Just got my permit this morning. My head hurts from all this learning, but CDL school has been the time of my life so far. Thanks to TruckingTruth I was able to make an educated decision about a new career, and the High Road Training Program helped me study for my permit. That with all of the materials Roadmaster has given me, and now I can proudly say that I passed the General Knowledge, Air Brakes, and Combinations tests on my first try. Didn't get any endorsements. My head hurt enough just studying for the basics. But once again, thank you Brett. I know the material on this website is free, but you'll at least have to let me buy you dinner if I ever see you at a truck stop or something. You guys rock!
