Day 3: The Test

I must say, im proud of how well i did, i passed 3 of the 4 tests that i needed too, while i did not get my permit, i do get to test for it tomorrow and i am confident i will pass. Like i said, i am proud of myself :) in 2 days i learned sooooooooooooo much about trucks and air brakes and combination vehicles and general knowledge about trucks. Seeing as i came in knowing ABSOLUTELY nothing about trucks, and 2 days later im able to pass 3 of the 4 tests that i need to in order to get a CDL permit. The first test i had to pass was a piece of cake, the indiana operators test, basically the written portion of the indiana drivers license test. So it was easy as hell, the next was the general knowledge portion, which covers all the general stuff you need to know about driving a big rig, i passed that easily as well, 50 questions, i missed 6. The next was the air brake portion, which is surprisingly complicated, but i passed that with flying colors, 25 questions, missed 2. Then came the one that is in my opinion the most difficult which is combination vehicles. That was 20 questions and that was the one i didnt pass. So even though i wasnt able to get my permit on the first try, i've been studying that combo section of the CDL manual like my life depended on it. Tomorrow i go back to retake that test, and if i pass.....i get my CDL permit! :-D I'll let you all know how it goes!! If i get the permit, then i learn how to straightline back, offset back, and paralell park a big rig, yes, apparently it is possible to paralell park a big rig, wtf lol. Alright goodnight friends
