Megan: from learning the parts to a pre-trip milestone
Megan says she passed her Class A test with flying colors after only 'like four days' driving a truck. In this archived 2016 interview, she credits Billy and her husband for helping her prepare, remembers not knowing what a lug nut was two weeks earlier, and describes the emotion of passing. She says she was the first woman in Texas to pass during the new pre-trip rollout and recalls seeing more than 20 other men fail to make it through the pre-trip that day. Watch Megan tell the story in her own words.
Billy remembers Megan as the 21st person statewide to pass the new pre-trip test and identifies her vehicle as a Peterbilt 387 with a 28-foot pup trailer. He contrasts that earlier truck with the newer Freightliner M2 options now offered.

Sam: Get Your CDL Quick’s first customer
Recorded on October 6, 2016, Sam's story captures the first week of Texas's new CDL skills-testing standards. Sam says his examiner told him he had not missed anything and that he was the second person to pass in Fort Worth that week. In the interview, Billy describes a Fort Worth FedEx driver and a San Antonio driver passing before Sam, making him third statewide in that account. Sam credits the preparation they reviewed the previous day and thanks Billy for helping him reach that milestone.
Billy identifies Sam as the company's first customer. He recalls organizing DPS material for independent pre-trip study and showing customers where components were located so they could study the inspection themselves.
