Well I guess I will keep the class b on the list for the training then. I guess either way it wont hurt me to have it.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but if you are going for a class A, that will work as well as long as it has a passenger and air brake endorsement.

You are correct. I talked to the school this afternoon and they don't even offer the "B" as a stand alone course. They also said if I had an "A" that I would be able to drive anything. I guess I will learn more on Thursday when I take tour of the school. There are 2 schools kind of close to my house but I am not sure if I pick or if my local One Stop (unemployment office) picks for me.

Yep. Just as having my Class B allows me to drive my wife's van or my car, having a Class A means you can drive anything up to the weight you are qualified for.

And for transporting some of our guests, I suggest a HAZMAT endorsement :p:

maybe Disney should set up those stands at bus stops that you see at marathon races. the plastic piping archway that has "heavy" misting, or light shower. and make any "fragrent" guest walk through it!

heck, they are gonna be drenched in sweat in about ten minutes anyway!

I was going to say that but then I thought it was a bit over the line. Come to find out...it was totally appropriate. Who knew? I must have more courage of conviction in the future. :D:
