Got my class A CDL today

[deadtrend1]

Finally, after postponing the test, I was able to get out and take the road test. The instructors words were "TIMOTHY, you just made my day!" I asked why, and he went "I don't have to give you a full test since you already have your class B with air"

needless to say, no pretrip inspection, no road test, just the 4 basic manuvers and I was off. Fantabulous!

Congrats man! Im looking forward to upgraded from a B to an A prolly within the fall. I have to get the feel of the Garbage trucks I drive, then I'll move over to a trailer :-D

Take in in anything that meets the requirements for a class A. Any vehicle 26,001 lbs or more pulling a trailer 10,000 lbs or more. Example ... a 80,000 lb tri axel dumptruck with a pintle hook tandem axel eager beaver trailer for hauling bulldozers.

I took mine in a 05 freightliner columbia class sleeper, with a 53 ft spread axel drop deck.

EDITED OUT GOOGLED PICS, SEE PICS BELOW ... :D

I drive garbage trucks with the Eaton Fuller M8 trannys. We have one truck with a Cat and Allison A6 tranny. Very nice :-D
