Special Drivers License
Those of you that have Class A's, do you have to have a special drivers license? If so did you have to prove you know how to operate your rig to the DMV?

TX driving test they had us stop in the middle of a quiet side street and back up in a straight line for not more than 30 feet. Not a big deal. Parallel park would be fun :) used to have to do that to get into a parking spot behind my townhouse, and it was on a curve!
Same here in New York. However, he had me back up until he told me to stop. I'm thinking about 60/80 feet. Had to keep it straight within a foot on either side. Had to be sure to first get out of the coach and check out what was behind me, then get back in, check both mirrors blow the air before proceeding with backing. No parallel parking for the test.
Oh BTW...for those considering going for their "special" license...always drive with both hands on the wheel! I had gotten a "polite" warning about that from the instructor on one turn I made. It was the very last turn at the end of the test. He was a nice guy so he didn't bother me about.
