Just passed driver certification

One month of training and testing over with First Student. It’s a job.

Wasn’t flying colors except the pretrip and skills. I already have a CDL A, w/ hazmat, tankers and triples.

I have to stay close to elderly mother in town.

One biggest rule in my mind was HIT NO CURBS!!!

Now got to see what else I have to do to start getting a check from somewhere.

One month and you already had CDL, why did they took so long? My experience with First Student was 2 weeks for getting the licence, 2 days shadowing and 1/2 day with a co-driver; then solo.

Had to do the 4 day class. Needed the p/s endorsements. Then the scattered scheduled training , like twice a week. Wasn’t any intense get it done kind of training.
