A big thank you to everyone here and to all the information available on the website. I took my knowledge tests this morning and passed everything on the first shot. I attribute my success to the training tools here and the knowledge I've gleaned from the forum posts. I spoke to my recruiter and I should have my start date later this afternoon. I'll be starting a CDL Training diary soon so I can introduce myself fully to the community. But for now, I can't thank you all enough for helping me to start this new chapter in my life.
