I have been hauling farm related loads since 1966. Retired now and I was asked if I could haul a few loads to other states for a friend, so I decided to go for the CDL. First, I was asked if I was a student of their driver training school. I said no, I have all these years of experience hauling for my own farm. Then the Test Sargent said for the pre-trip inspection, I have to point to everything I check, repeat everything exactly from the latest DOT manual at each item, move on to the next item, and repeat exactly, or automatic fail. His speech sounded exactly like a teenager when given excess authority. (He is probably in his 40's) I wasted $100 for the test and 20 minutes of my time. Never needed a CDL in the past and don't see it happening in my lifetime. He told me I could go home, study the latest book, and return. What do you want to do? I said my truck is now for sale. I see why the so called driver shortage.
