With a learners permit someone with an "A" license could ride in your truck with your 5th wheel.

Yes, that's true. That still leaves me in the position of finding somebody who is willing to travel with me from Portland to CA riding shotgun and then having somebody go with me to the driving test. Plus, we wanted to travel some after picking up our 5th wheel before coming home and wouldn't be able to do that. It would be much better if I had a license before heading to Portland.
