Going To School

You will go to the CO DMV sometime during the first week there, where you will switch to a CO CDL Learners Permit. That's assuming you pass the General Skills and Air brake tests, which are done via computers at the DMV. All questions are multiple choice. Try and pass the first time because it's an additional cost for each re-test, and for each section. Keep taking practice tests on here and use the course study manuals you'll get at Careers World Wide. Even as a former driver starting over, I did quite a bit of studying the first couple weeks.

Thanks Charles. I've been doing high road (scoring 99% so far on general,combo,air brakes,pre-trip) plus the practice tests they e-mailed, plus my states hard copy manual. Always some study every day. I also have a little over a weeks time off prior to getting on the bus to head out there and will devote that time to study.

If that is the case, you are GOLDEN!

You'll be way ahead of most others when you arrive.

Thanks guys.

Not that it matters but curious, will my drivers license be transfered? Kinda plan to relocate to CO later on anyway possibly. I live in and drive a short school bus that I converted to a tiny home so relocating anywhere would be just a matter of driving there. Not taking it with me yet due to funding this portion of the journey. Thank you much for the info.

Tim, not to high jack your thread, but how do you find places legal for a tiny home? I will be selling this house when I do leave for school and what it would bring would just be enough to cover one. Anywhere I have checked around here they're not legal in the building codes. I am going to mostly live out of my truck but have learned I must have a physical place to call home to be legal. I won't be in it much, so a set up like yours might be the thing for me. I can be emailed at NO_BillTheSlink@SPAM_fuse.net

Hey Bill! It's basically an rv. In summer months I park at national forest or riverside turnouts. We have a lot of those in NH. Or Walmart. My current employer allows me to park in our lot behind the store for winter months. A local temporary housing agency lets me use their address for a physical address so I was able to get a P.O. box. As for a trailer type tiny home I wouldn't know other than maybe a campground. That's why I went with van/ bus. I can go most anywhere and just get behind the wheel and go if I want. I did a ton of research online and youtube and got lucky finding my my bus at a local juvenile home that sold it to me cheap. I have 14' x 8' living space which seems perfect to me. While I'm at school a friend will let me park it on his farm.
