    GL questions

    Perhaps because the test for a non-CDL Class B is the same as the test for a CDL class B?? Only difference in obtaining either version of the Class B (at least in NC where I am located) is the paperwork (gotta have a medical card or an appropriate exemption if CDL). Ditto for a Class A...
