Definitely not so simple anymore. I let my CDL go a few years ago because just maintaining it for occasional use wasn't worth it.
There really isn't that much to it, at least not in Texas. Now, maybe like that in some tree hugger commie state, that one out on the left side of the country comes to mind...
