Well, today was the big day, where we did the state test for our CDL.....and I passed! Yes, I am now a proud holder of a CDL, although it is still from Washington, so there is still some shame mixed with that pride. I missed 5 points on the road section of the test. You can miss 20 before you fail, so I did pretty good. I was rather nervous, but I didn't make any major mistakes, touched a couple lines I'm not supposed to, and shifted in the middle of a couple of my turns, but I didn't really grind any of my gears, even while down shifting (if you had to do it in one of these trucks, you would understand how hard it really is).
I'm coming home tomorrow, leaving here at noon. I will be returning on Sunday to attend orientation on Monday as an official Swift Truck driver. Here's hoping it all works out.
