Just a quick thanks to Brett and his staff for making the High Road Training Program available to everyone as well as keeping this site and forums up and running. I now have permit in hand and ready to go. I used this training program as well as the Trucking Truth Mobile App to quiz myself. I passed at DMV in record time, not just from knowing the right answer, but by actually having the knowledge to answer the questions correctly. Now I will return to it and study up on hazmat , logs, refresh, and keep fresh and continue to enrich my CDL training. This program really is THAT good. So, to all those contemplating their written portion, these tools, provided you actually work them, will help you immensely. Thanks again.
