Becoming a Bus Driver

I did it.
I passed the written driving tests for becoming a School Bus Driver. I had to take 4 tests - Signs test, Passenger test, School Bus test and CDL or Commercial Drivers test. Friday I passed all the tests but the CDL. That is the test with all the information for driving the big rigs. So all weekend my DH teased me while I was studying all the big truck rules of the road. Come Monday though I knew it all and passed. So if you have any Big Rig questions this Stay at Home Mom soon to be Bus Driver can answer them for you.

Did you know that you must have one tie down for every 10 feet of cargo you are hauling on an open bed trailer, with a minimum of 2. Let me think - there may be a time I can use that as a bus driver :)

The funniest question - Why do you go faster on down grades? answer - gravity. I'm cool,I know it. :)
