Congrats on passing the written tests. Actually they're on computer now aren't they?
Your permit is good for one year which will give you plenty of time to practice for the skills and road tests. |

| Yup sure is good for a year. I can't do nothing until I get the actual CDL, since that is what everyone is gonna tell me. Yeah it's all on computers now which is nice. Touch screen too. :) |

Heh - not in West Virginia. We're still in the 19th century here.
By the time we get touchscreen computers in the DMV in WV, they'll have a system in every other state where you just walk in, put your head into a hole for a brainscan to see if you know the information or not. |

Brainscans, now that would be cool!
Not all of the DMV's here have the computers yet, but they are getting there. Some people I know who are totally computer phobic will drive 40 miles to one that still does "written" tests on paper. They don't "trust" the computers. :shock: |

So you are going to hop up into the big rig and head right over to take the drive test without any real instruction..... :roll:
And you wonder why no one will hire a 18 y/o whose ink is not even dry on the PERMIT.....
Grow up kid... you cannot shortcut the process like you seem to think you will be able to..... |

| I'm not giving up Mackman, that isn't an option. As for you BigDiesel your comments don't bother me, I don't even acknowledge them. So your just wasting your time typing away from your closet on the computer. |

| Bad phrasing on my part, what I meant to say was the insults don't bother me at all and I could careless if he wastes his time insulting people. I was in a hurry cause I had to take care of some stuff. |
