Got My CDL !!!
Topic 716 | Page 1
I passed my CDL test this morning. As of 10:45 this morning, I am the proud holder of a Class A CDL!!!!!!!! My nerves were killing me and I think I probably had a mini heart attack and stroke while I was waiting for my turn, but I got through it on the first time. All its left to do is pick up my completion certificate from my school in 5-10 days and get the hard copy of my license in the mail in 5-10 business days.
Everything is finally starting to fall into place for once in my life. Hard work and determination. Black and Chrome, here I come.
AWESOME!!!

What an awesome statement, and congrats on landing that CDL!!! It's always an epic moment for everyone when they hear they made it. I certainly never forgot the moment I was told I passed and that was in '93. I can't imagine anyone else has forgotten either!
Awesome!!!

Thank you all for all of yalls support. It has been a great help being able to share this journey with yall and hearing the positive feedback.
Im sure this is one of those moments I will remember for the rest of my life. With that being said, Im sure the guys and gal that were testing the same day as me wont forget me either. As soon as the examiner told me I had passed and to go ahead and get out of the truck, I jumped out and started skipping around like a school girl. Sure them guys wont ever forget that. But I had not a care in the world, I passed and thats al that matter to me for those whole 5 minutes of skipping around.
Again, I want to thank you all for the great advise and support.
Ozzy
