I went on Tuesday to retake the pretrip part of my CDL test. I passed. I only had to get 42, and I got a 47. So I go in to get my license. The lady asks me if I have my highway watch. I say "I'm Sorry?" Again "Do you have you're highway watch?" I stare at her as if she has four heads.
Turns out because I don't have my highway watch (a homeland security mandate that all CDL drivers must pass a test being alert for terrorism) I can't get my license.
This is great because I was supposed to drive a group of 45 to go skiing in 12 hours. So I had to call my backup guy.
The whole experience was frustrating for me because I had no idea that I needed it. I hate surprises. Made me really glad that I had my backup plan ready to go. JM
