Yay! I got my CDL today! Driving Big rigs is like riding a bike, except that it has 9 times more wheels, and is generally less responsive. People don't cut you off too!

Yes, it was the hardest DMV written and skills tests I have ever taken. Driving on the road is easy, docking and manuevering in tight spaces is tough, especially when you have $20,000 worth of decals on the side of the trailer you don't want to rub anything.

I have a CDL. I was grandfathered in. I got when there were numbers. All i had to do was take the written and that was sent to me with the book and test. I bet if i took it now i would fail it.

if you live in new jersey they cut you off more in a truck opposed to a car,so dont believe everything your told. ALWAYS watch your mirrors and corners of your front fenders. also at traffic lights rember the color , or type of car your stop behind cause when the light turns green make sure you still see him before you move or you will roll into his trunk just a lil tip good luck drive safe

One of the most important things i learned from truck drivers when i use to pump there diesel is "if you cut us off and slam on the brakes, i'm not gonna even touch my brakes"

I kind of didn't understand it than, but now it all makes sense.
