What is this "driver's abstract"?
What is this "driver's abstract"?
Driving record. Usually only goes back 3 years, but it varies by state.
So today was an absolutely wonderful day! My instructor gave me today off because I had to be back in colville so I can go to the DMV and take my test and I also had to change my address at the time. So I went in this morning was a little bit nervous but I ate every single test! I now am the holder of a brand new class a CDL permit from the state of Washington! I called my instructor and told him it was a one-and-done and he said he will see me Monday 7:30 a m on the truck!
Super excited!
