Thank You!

Congrats Chris! I've heard nothing but good reports from those that studied using the High Road Training Program. I'm finishing up on the main modules for the permit. I plan on going through review questions again before I go to PA's permit test. Best of luck to you!

Thanks Bill and I wish you the best of luck as well! I believe we are a special breed. If we want to succeed we will succeed! I highly recommend the High Road Training to anyone about to take their exams. I lucked out and found an employer without the schools. I hope that anyone in the same situation as me finds this site! I've never posted on this site nor have I spoken with anyone until now LOL. I'm hoping to make some new friends that enjoy what I enjoy. Being on the road.

I registered a few weeks ago and studied the training program. I appreciate that it wont let you guess at answers! I passed my skills test, my pretrip, and road skills today! I was going to team drive with my best friend but the company offered me my own truck and .35 per mile today! The funny thing is my buddy loaned me the money to rent the truck for the test with the condition that if I didn't pass on my first attempt, he could slap me 10 times across eternity. (How I Met Your Mother). Good news is I passed so no slaps. I recently moved to MN from SC. I studied as if I were taking the tests in SC. Everyone at the DMV was on their 2nd or 3rd attempt. I passed first try! Honestly I think MN is too easy on you. I rented an automatic truck with a flatbed 20' trailer. I don't know why the other guys failed. They even cut the pretrip down to JUST the front of truck and combination. I just wanted to say thank you to those that put in the effort for this website. My hat's off to you sir.
