  1. Did the drive test today (signed up for CDL Class B after questioning at DMV since I couldn't get a live human on the phone) and passed! Entire drive was about 25-30 minutes including highway, access roads, residential streets and lots of turns. Some of the things I got docked for -- so maybe you can note for yourselves -- were: not actively (exaggerate your moves folks!) looking when crossing intersections even with green light going over 35 in 35mph zone (was 40, changed to 35 along route without my knowledge -- was too busy checking mirrors than looking for speed limit signs) turning off turn signal too soon after changing lanes (apparently didn't wait until entire bus was in new lane when turning onto a 4 lane cross street, I swung wide and didn't go back into the right lane Again, many, many thanks to those of you who shared your experiences -- today was much less stressful as a result!
  2. Probably a really stupid question, but after a 2 hour wait for written test today (passed), I don't want to get this part wrong! On the site to schedule the driving test, you must select from category -- there is a Class A, Class B (...etc) or Recreational/RV. I am needing (& took written test today for) Class B Exempt license. I am not sure which to choose to schedule appointment! Local office said make sure to go to Commercial site, but looks to me on DPS site that the Exempt categories (Non-CDL) point toward the RV classification. For the RV category, there aren't any available skills testings prior to end of October in my town of over 120,000, but rural towns have availability as early as next week...??? If I choose CDL Class B, I can test next week in our city. This really can't be this difficult, can it??? (I tend to make things more difficult, but this is ridiculous!)
  3. David & Cheryl, I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to post (and update!) the information on the Class B licensing. My anxiety toward having to take the full CDL testing -- and pre-trip inspection -- was extreme. I am so glad to hear that I won't be tested on the full gamut of information contained in the CDL booklet which I originally believed due to a lack of information on the correct licensing and testing for RV's. While we only own a Class B, my parents have a 45' that we will be rallying in this fall which necessitates the licensing. Again, many thanks to you and everyone who has contributed to this thread -- you have saved me much undue stress! (Now, I'm just praying I can pass with an updated level of confidence!)
