Done Stalking

I have been reading every word on this site for months in order to make the right decisions for my future. Thanks to all of you who have unknowingly helped me. After thinking I was finally ready to take the cdl test I made an appt. to get my DOT physical. After waiting over a week, today was the day. Easily passed all phases except for bp. I have never had a problem before in my 53 years. The nice doctor told me to relax, I was getting passed and it was just a matter of for how long. I sat in the exam room and when the Tech came back and retook my bp her only comment was..."I don't know what you did, but congrats". I walked out with a 2 year cert. Then on to my local DMV to test there. My DMV closes at 5pm and when I checked in at 3:15 and told the clerk what test I wanted to take she gave me a funny look. At 4pm I found out why when I was called up to the counter to go over paperwork and have my picture taken (which I thought was a bit premature). I was taking general knowledge, combination, air brakes, tanker, and doubles/triples. This woman consulted with her boss and agreed I would have until 6pm to finish. Now I was really worried if I had underestimated these tests and now the pressure was on.After sitting down at the computer station, I took a deep breath and jumped in. Silly me, at 4:35 I was done and had passed all sections. I can do this...so far. I will begin training at the Swift Training Academy location here in Richmond on the 24th of this month if nothing changes.

Again, thanks for all of the encouraging posts and helpful information. If only I could get through the Hours Of Service(HOS) section in the High Road Training Program on this site. But, ignorance is bliss and I will keep plugging along. Brett, please reset my score on that section so I at least feel smarter. lol.

Steve, we're happy you finally came out and revealed yourself! I/we are thrilled to hear that we are helping people with their transition into the industry. It makes all the effort worth it. Good luck at Swift! You're in good hands.

Also, that Logbook section is pretty confusing. But just keep doing it, it'll eventually click. You're doing yourself a good thing by studying early. Lastly, you can reset your scores on the main page of the program. Go to the page where it shows all of your sections. Now look on the right side of the page and you'll see a link called 'Reset My Score'. Click and it'll reset.

And by the way, nice thread title. When I read that I instantly thought Old School made the thread. I don't know why, but the thing that came to my mind first when I read your title was Old School. Funny how that happened..

Congratz! And good luck!

Congrats on all that Steve. If you got any questions about Swift lemme know. I drive for Swift. Been with them since October and solo since a little before thanksgiving.

And by the way, nice thread title. When I read that I instantly thought Old School made the thread. I don't know why, but the thing that came to my mind first when I read your title was Old School. Funny how that happened..

Thanks. I think it was from Old School that I got the idea when he called us out about a month ago for hiding.

Good luck and best wishes to you Steve!!

I too took my physical yesterday, passed with flying colors! I start my driver training on April 7th here at a local training center.
