Hey, Bus Driver

My CDL (Commercial Driver's License) Learner's Permit

One step taken today in obtaining my CDL. I passed the written (actually touchscreen) portion of the test. On Thursday, weather permitting I'll take the road test. After (if?) I pass that portion I'll be able to haul honors students around in the SAU 24-passenger bus.

Incidentally, my motivation here is quite mercenary. It saves the Honors College $10 an hour, or the amount needed to pay a driver. Moreover, drivers who accompany us on overnight or multi-day trips get paid for the ENTIRE time they are with us (e.g., $240/day). Naturally, I'll be donating my services and thus getting more bang for the buck from the Honors College budget.
