Ok, I had to reply because this runs parallel to my own retirement plans. What’s the easiest path to a CDL? What’s the cost and length of time instruction to actual licensure? Any caveats or roadblocks (pun not intended, but I’m not editing it out).

I know I can look this up on different school websites, but I wanted to get a first hand accounting of the process. My currently ill-defined goal is to be a bus driver for the local transit company (rural). Some F550 with a bus body, and some actual buses.

Do you have a Class B or C? Passenger endorsement, I’m guessing, too. Would it be wise to get a class B just in case I needed to pivot to driving something else, like a commercial dump truck for construction?

Sorry, lots of questions, I know.

Probably my favorite because of nostalgia, but I remember these being built like tanks and taking heaps of abuse.

I’d like to be able to turn on closed captioning for in-person conversations.

“I have depression.”

“Have you tried doing things to make you happy?”
