I went to test again for my CDL and passed!

What a relief. Now the adventure begins again. Two companies that I had wanted to go for do not hire from commiefornia so I will have to go somewhere else. So, I'll have to see what comes of the ones I applied to and see what they say now that I have my CDL. I had been in-touch with them when I had only my CDP. They both seemed interested in completing my training to get my CDL. Anyway, I will call both recruiters tomorrow and see what they say. If they say no, then I will keep looking. It's just a small set back to overcome. Anyway once hired I will keep everyone posted to see the training I will receive.

Remember to all who are in school now and to those who are considering, If I can do it at 65, anyone can.

CDL:

  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
