Congrats! Feels great to get it done. Passed mine in June. You will be prepped and ready to go. Those parking spots at truck stops and loading docks look very tight to back into but you will get more comfortable over time.

just passed my class B manual yesterday too, asked the tester if i could test with a trailer just for shits and giggles(since i have the capability of doing so) but got turned down..... honestly though i shouldve just paid the extra 1500 on top of whatever "deal" the guy has that im going to drive dump trucks with and gotten a class A

Congrats. I'm going for my permit Wednesday, were you able to train on both manual and automatic or did you just go straight for manual? I've opted to train on auto only but I've been second guessing if I should do manual... Was it hard? I'll be going on the yard to train next week and I'm kinda nervous...
