    Hey man, just wanted to let you know I passed today. Perfect score on my pre trip, 1 point on my backing maneuvers and 8 points on my drive. It’s a good feeling. I hope you’re doing well.

      That's awesome, Jason! I figured you would get it 👍 Congratulations on a huge accomplishment. Now comes to time with the trainer. That is a very exciting and nervous(for me) experience as well. I'm very happy for you and keep me updated if you don't mind!

    Hey brother, fellow Kentuckian from the 606 area, been following you very closely the last couple weeks as I'm fixing to do the CDL program with Roehl, would love to hear some advice & tips from you. Also, great work on the videos and God Bless.

    • @Willy_On_Wheels
      @Willy_On_Wheels 4 месяца назад +1

      I just passed my CDL test with them today. My advice is to not let week 1 overwhelm you. There’s a lot of information in a short amount of time and they expect you to learn quickly. Get your videos done as quickly as possible and pre trip, pre trip, pre trip. Everything should start coming together and making sense about the middle of week 2. Good luck man, you got this.

    Congrats on finally getting a truck. I'm going tomorrow to retake the air brakes and combination vehicle part of the CDL permit test. I will say being in Georgia myself, the worst drivers I've seen were in South Carolina and north Carolina ain't much better. As far as Georgia goes, sounds like you might be in more north Georgia (ie north of Atlanta). The closer you get to Atlanta, the crazier it gets. If you do find yourself in Atlanta, don't be surprised your GPS gets confused, most of them do. If you ever get lost in Georgia, just keep going our roads go in circles 😂. That's a joke but also partially true in places. Good luck man.

      @edwinvillatoro-fuentes1066 I don't think so, but I'm not positive. I do believe that is the total price. They have different payment plans that you can pay per month. One is $225. I'll be making around $2000 more per month with this company, I believe. So that, to me, is well worth it.
