    CDL Test Question?

    When I took mine there was no restriction (WA state) but you are allowed a lot fewer mistakes on your road test with a an automatic vs. a manual. I want to say you get up to 25 boo boos with a manual, not sure how many with an auto but its substantial - maybe 10 less.

    Driving a straight rig w/o a cdL?

    I don't know if this varies by state but here in WA state, you can of course drive under 26K with no CDL BUT if the truck has air brakes an endorsement (or rather removal of a Ab restriction) is required.................the only way to GET that endorsement is on a CDL so in order to be AB...

    Cargo Van Questions

    If that is only in MI, simple answer...................MOVE - granted moving ain't cheap either but it solves your problem.

    CDL-A College degree!

    Are you sure about the cost? I checked into that course years ago, 7 weeks, full time - 40hrs/week and $5000.........probably almost 10 years ago now. I ended up getting mine the old fashioned way, read the book and tested in the same truck I drove every day at work. LOL
