North Carolina Class B Non-CDL

For driving a motorcoach in NC, weighing over 26,001 lbs, you do need class B non-commercial license.  I took my test, 50 questions on computer.  I studied the CDL handbook since they don't have a non-commercial (regular license) handbook.  I am now scheduled to demonstrate my proficiency in pre-trip inspection and driving skills demonstration.  After successfully taking my computer test, I was issued a temporary learner permit.  The DMV people were not well informed.  I talked with several people before getting someone that knew exactly what to do and how the tests worked. I read the CDL handbook for the pre-trip, which of course is not totally apropos, made a list from it, then added all the things I need to do specifically for my motorcoach.  Not sure they will let me use the sheet I made, so I will go over a couple of times by myself so I will be prepared to do it without the sheet; which is 2 pages long.  Hope this helps. Good luck.
