Announcing…
Barron's CDL Truck Driver's Test
… the publication of the THIRD edition of “Commercial Driver’s License Truck Driver’s Test,” written by yours truly, Mike Byrnes & Assoc., Inc., and published by Barron’s Educational Series, Inc. Publication of this newly updated CDL test-preparation guide is slated for next month, March 2010. Both professional and prospective tractor-trailer drivers can use this manual to prepare for the tests that they must pass to get a CDL. Comprehensive coverage of both the written and driving tests includes lots of practice tests (with answers, of course) for the general knowledge, air brakes and endorsement tests. The book is generously illustrated with detailed diagrams and drawings that demonstrate the proper procedures drivers must master to pass the inspection and skills tests. A detailed index, test-preparation and test-taking tips mean readers can design a test-prep program that best suits their needs.
We at Mike Byrnes & Assoc., Inc., were delighted when Barron’s Educational Series, Inc., asked us to write the first edition of this test prep book back in 1991 when a CDL first became required. This newest edition reflects changes to hours-of-service, cargo securement and hazardous materials regulations, among others.
“Commercial Driver’s License Truck Driver’s Test” will be available in paperback, approximately 8.375″ by 10.875″, with 448 pages. The ISBN13 is 978-0-7641-4382-3 (or ISBN10: 0-7641-4382-4). Single copies are $18.99 ($22.99 in Canada). For information about discounts or to request a review copy for prep courses or schools, contact Anne Realmuto at arealmuto@barronseduc.com. Or call us at 361-749-4007 or send an email to mbapub@aol.com.

Scam alert update
Happy anniversary!
Yes, happy anniversary… to us! Twenty-three years ago, we started Mike Byrnes and Associates. And we are still here, despite the economic downturn. Guess we must be doing something right! Marketing, promotion and publicity are important. But apparently there’s something to be said for simply writing a good book. Help us to keep BUMPERTOBUMPER, The Complete Guide to Tractor-Trailer Operations, useful and enjoyable by letting us know what you would find helpful in truck driver training as the next decade of trucking unfolds.
