Don't get me started on cheap CDL training programs.
Driver's testing in the US is a joke.
Ah yes, the natural environment of the 4ft tall tired diesel monstrosity truck.
I understand that you want this vehicle for offroading. But in my opinion it should be treated like a dirt bike or a 4 wheeler: you should have to tow it to the trails. If you live in the wilderness, feel free to drive it right onto dirt roads and trails. But it just shouldn't be allowed at all in a suburban or urban environment. A truck like that cannot possibly fit in the parking space at the grocery store. Not being able to see over the hood is a danger to anyone walking or biking in your suburb, and probably contributes to the fact that nobody walks or bikes in your suburb.
I do at least ponder the moral implications of it. It was fun for a while, I will probably sell it soon, it is rather impractical :)
