I’ve never needed a CDL, but, years ago when Carolyn worked at the day care center she needed one to drive their small busses on field trips.
And, those busses were considerably smaller than some of these modern day behemoth motor homes.
Those things are the size of large tour busses (or larger), and they’re always towing an auxiliary vehicle.
Standard requirement is any bus regardless of size requires a CDL if there are 12 or more passengers. I think, though that if it is a Day Care it would be the same as school bus requirements which is a CDL with a special school bus endorsement.

Yep, I took my actual driving test at the DPS in my parents Boaty McBoatface ‘77 Buick LeSabre…!!!!! :hilarious:
I took mine in a 1963 Buick LaSabre like the one below, same color even. What a tank that was. It had the biggest Buick engine available, 4 bar. Carb. with the famous Dynaflow Automatic Transmission and got 6 miles per gallon highway. That thing could do everything except drive past a gas station.,

Yep, GM doesn’t even make Oldsmobiles anymore…!!!!! :hilarious:
Other than my ‘85 Mustang GT, the ‘90 Jeep Cherokee Laredo SUV we owned was the next most fun to drive. It was small-ish, sat up high, and had the torquey 4.0 liter straight-6 with the 5-speed manual tranny.
A joy to drive…until it started to spiral into falling apart at every other turn…!!! :facepalm:
Was so glad when we finally dumped that piece of carp.
Only problem…
We dumped it for that ‘01 Dodge Grand Caravan, which turned out to an even bigger piece of carp…!!!!! 🤣
Finally dumped that for a ‘10 Toyota Camry, which is still tickin’ along just fine…!!! 🙂
I had a 1990 Dodge Caravan that was one of the best vehicles I ever owned. It was like the Eveready Rabbit. It just kept going and going and going. I couldn't kill it. I put 180K miles on it. I sold it and for two years after that it went flying by me on the interstate on my way to work. It had a V6 engine. I think that was the difference. I heard a lot about problems with others and I think is was because the 4 cyl. was underpowered and just couldn't handle the pressure. I also heard that even with a front wheel drive they had trouble in snow. Mine would go through anything with just all season tires. I loved that van and still miss it. She made a lot of Vermont to WDW road trips.

Unless, of course, it’s inflated with stuffing…!!! ;)
Nope. The inflatable turkey doesn't look like this:

The Inflatable Turkey dad has outside has a Pilgrim hat on head along with rest of the body and has been that way for years.

Yeah, there's no way that I would want to work for any of his companies. He's one of those people who thinks people should be in the office doing their jobs, which is all I need to know about him. At the ripe old age of 27, I'm past the point in my career where I come into an office everyday. 🙃 That alone tells me never ever go to work for Tesla, Twitter, or SpaceX.

As far as the board of directors goes, I wouldn't expect a board of directors in a private company. A board of directors is there to serve the interests of shareholders. Twitter only has one shareholder now that they're private, so the board isn't needed. Major higher ups in the company going isn't unexpected either.
Not only that, he's the guy that demands you have your mind always on the job.
Which translates into you working and "presenting" the brand even outside working hours.
Or giving away extra works for boosting the brand. XD

To resume, he wants slaves and drones, not workers.

Maybe by the time you get to Thanksgiving you'll have enough free turkeys to feed James for Thanksgiving
Key word, "Maybe" . . . :joyfull:

At the rate I'm going I may have enough for James and your brother:banghead:

I know I shouldn't get such a kick out of "Figgy's big adventures for Thanksgiving cooking, 2022", but I do! :hilarious: Every year, I look forward to the deets of your month-long meal preparations, etc. :D

Is it the stocking up of baking/pantry items while on sale which is mostly done for this year's holidays or the actual cooking that begins 2 days before the holidays or the menu planning that you find more interesting?
The boys enjoy each except unloading and helping to put everything away from shopping trips

In that case you'll really enjoy Christmas and New Year Eve/Day as Santa is getting me a pasta roller:inlove: Santa says it's a house gift and not a me gift but we all know who is going to use it.
I'm planning on making tagliatelle with mushroom sauce for Christmas as the pasta course and lasagna for either NYE or NYD depending on dh's schedule
