[Deleted member 12723]

I am so very happy for you and I can so relate. I have also been healing and recovering with the occasional setback, but I am definitely moving on with my life.

Congratualtions to all of your hard work which got you to where you are today. Very inspiring.

Rooting for you on the test. You will do just fine.

I Passed my road test! I was so nervous and stressed out I thought my heart might explode but I made it through. Only 2 minor complaints are I don't downshift enough and when up shifting I am forcing it a little. I agree on both points but you must understand I had only had 4 hours of training on the road before taking the test so I just need more practice. Otherwise he said for somebody who only gets to practice in the yard on weekends every 3rd weekend I did amazing. He was impressed by my control of the truck and confidence even in tight spaces and traffic. He said I seemed relaxed and alert behind the wheel.

Now the next step is I going to the finishing school. Now since I am the first person in the company across the nation who has gotten this far in the program so no one really knows how this is going to go. If they are planning on sending me to the school they have mentioned that school only has a 10 week course. The boss has told me the the school he is sending me to is only a 3 week course. So I am a little confused. Regardless I am on the next step of the process.

So great! Sounds like you've found something that you can be really good at. Not everyone has that awareness with a vehicle to drive in traffic with confidence. Think how well you'll do with training and experience.

Boy all of a month and so much has happened. Let me explain that first of all the step after passing the company road test was not going to the school. The whole program has basically been to get me my CDL. And since I am the first in the company to do this they are kind of making it up as they go along. So I had to get my CDL on my own through a third party. Today was that test and guess what folks........ I NAILED IT! I am now an official Licensed Commercial Driver!

Now is when I get to go to the school. I will begin the first week of June. Wish me luck folks!

Good Luck, Popeye! :) Congratulations!

All the luck in the world to you, but I don't think it's been luck at all that got you here.

You are living your life and doing what suits you best:D
