Pardon My Venting On CDL Applications......

I got to the DMV to renew my CDL permit and the lady tells me they will not allow her to do so. She has to call them and with it being Saturday they are not there. She couldn't see anything wrong my information was all there, I was not suspended or revoked and to come back Monday and she will call to find out whats going on.

Now I'm thinking about all those companies that said no maybe they seen that and that's why I was denied.

Does anyone have any idea on what this could be? The DMV lady asked if I was a victim of identity theft I told her not that I know of but I guess that's a possibility.

I know the feeling, Illinois requires you to retake the Pretrip, Skills, and Road test over again to remove an Air Brake restriction (L) so I spent 10 days (part time at a local truck driver school learning how to double clutch , practice driving around Chicago with a 48' dry van to take the test on property at the school. One day a week the examiners come out to the school. On test day I'm all ready, instructor hands in my paperwork to them, comes back 10 minutes later and says there is a problem with it. I talk to the examiner and he says I can't take any test because I hadn't the combination and the other basic test in the past year, I did retake my expired air brake written like 8 months ago in preporation to remove the restriction. I told him I didn't need all that as I handed him my License with the TX endorsments ( doubles/tripples tanker and hazmat) on a CDL A I had for 2 1/2 years. He agreed I was right but he couldn't fix it in the field and that I'd have to see the DMV lady with the computer to fix it,,,,, 40 mile round trip and I had to wait another week before the examiners would be back at our school. Gotta love the govment. anyway any could have happened,, wish you the best, Dan

It was really nothing big. You can only renew your permit once and then you have to retest. So looks like Ill be taking the tests again.

I'm just assuming here, Minnie, but here goes.

I applied to Roehl months ago. They emailed me telling me my credit score wasnt good enough for them and I ended up taking a hard inquiry on my credit - something I've been trying to fix for two years now.

As far as being female, I know Celadon hires women and they have woman trainers, so you shouldn't have a problem with that. There's mixed reviews about their school though, I went through it but they've changed things in the few months that I've been out here on the road. I do know that the students just got a brand new 2.5 million dollar building they get to stay in while they're in school - something that wasn't even offered to existing drivers until after the building was opened and still not openly offered to us. When it boils down to it though, I have to admit that as a whole I am happy here because they don't fail to get me home on the days I ask for and the money is pretty good.
