someone to take you somewhere where you can practice a little.   I was required
to back down a ally to a dock during my last test.

the license..Jim Barone fulltiming in a 1991 WBWL currently in Savannah

> Thanks James. I took mine today. Took the General Knowledge Test, the Air
Brake Test and the Combination Test. Passed them all. They gave me a Class AP
permit and a Class C GA license. Now to find a Semi to get a Class A or if I
take it in the bus I will only get a Class B. I prefer an A. That way I can haul
chickens around here in retirement. lol

Knowledge test, the Air Brake endorsement, and the Combination endorsement
tomorrow here in GA. If I can scrounge up a semi from a friend I will get a
Class A; if not I will get a class B in the BB. Assuming I pass the written. It
should not be a problem but the mock test questions I have taken in preparation
try to trick you. All the way back to College I have never seen the benefit of
that. 40 questions on each test; 80% accuracy required. Plus a DOT physical.

covered is on a small number of chapters in the CDL book and they tell you what
chapters to study.? Mostly lengths, lights, weights and things like that.? Then
I took about a two mile road test with a DPS officer in the Bluebird.? His
parting words were "Did you notice I didn't ask you how you got it here without
a license".? I real nice officer.

people tell me that I should just take a chance and not bother to get a correct

got my no restriction class B license? My present license is good until 2013 and
if I am still driving a coach I will get it renewed.
