I dont know if farm experience counts but 16 years a a truck driver in the ARMY kept me from taking the pretrip/driving test, knowledge tests werent too bad but hazmat is a PIA and now will cost over $100 for background check & fingerprints. And then gotta pay again for the TWIC Transportation Workers Identification Card, so I can get into the ports, and will have to pay again for the same background checks to get my FAST card to get into and out of Canada. All while my TS security clearance from the ARMY is still valid! Tell me again how much I love my job!
