That's what I have been thinking too. I already knew on Friday morning that I wouldn't go working for them. But then I had spent nearly a week training so I thought it only fair that I would finish the training (ie. get my CDL) and then tell them to shove that job where the sun don't shine. (Un)fortunately I haven't been given that chance.....

Yeah, this is what I've been told, although my British one is really nice, I wish they could have just used that photo, one person said I look like a model on it...yeah, it's nice, but it's not that nice!!!

Dunno, I'm going to try to find a trucking job with my newly acquired B license. A dump truck, or a concrete mixer, and sleeping in my own bed every night seems nice to me.

Congrats Liz luvey, did you take it on Bell? Nice to know you're all legal. Congrats Toontje...there's cement truck jobs out here in AZ, my son was offered one a few weeks back, thirty bucks an hour, I didn't think that wass too shoddy. Good luck in your search for a better deal.

Didn't take it did he?

Congrats on passing your test Partystar.

I did get a tick marked against me for speeding, as we went into a residential area & I didn't slow down quick enough, so I was going 28 as we entered a 25mph zone, but oh well!

The thing I'm most happy about is, I now have an ID that is acceptable!!!
Congrats,
Thats all done now then.
Good for you.

Did they make you parallel park? I took mine in Mesa, as they don't test you for it there. Just reverse into some cones and a 10 minute drive around the block.

So I guess I should steer clear of El Mirage for a few months.
