So Anyhow..... I Passed The Test

[rsmith6621]

Yesterday morning I finally brought to an end a summer of struggle and passed the Washington State Class A CDL road test and got my license to drive the big trucks.

I was having issues with the required 90 degree backing turn in the past two test and like magic yesterday morning it all came together.

Now on to hopefully find a job that will keep me home at night so I can continue to be politically active in my community.

So If you live in the Seattle area ya better watch out cause you never know who will be in that big rig.

Backing is like a bicycle, you never forget once you get it.

Now backing a set of doubles, that's fun!

I wouldn't even try it with box trailers. The visibility!

And oh, by the way, if any future employment should take you over here to Iowa, our Governor is still a bit of a leadfoot (or the troopers driving him are) so be careful.

7. Congratulations and good luck finding a job.

But getting to stay home at night.......................that's going to be a tough one!
I do hope you find a nice job that you're happy doing...without doing any 90 degree backing turns. That sounds really difficult! I can't even back straight up my driveway.
