I want to get my class "B" CDL (think big U-Haul). I hope to be taking my written tests after Christmas. Once I pass those I need to find someone who can go with me to rent a cdl truck I can use to take the driving test. I can drive the truck with my cdl permit as long as a cdl driver is with me. We will do some practice driving and then go to be tested. The cdl driver will hang around and whittle some wood while I hopefully pass the test, then head back to the rental place. I am willing to pay for your time and help. I also posted this on Craig's list and received some offers, but thought I would ask also. |

Tom does this mean what I think it does  , or is it just a prerequisite???
Unfortunately I let mine expire because I no longer needed the certification for my employment, and would rather not have the added restrictions/offense penalties.
Good luck, it's just like driving a car, but you just need to swing wider, and leave more room

Nothing in the pipeline, just that several jobs I have looked at it could help. I am not looking to be a full time driver, just a added bonus to a future employeer.
Dozer, Thanks I will be in touch when I am closer to being ready. I am not in a real rush.
I am not worried about me driving them. I drove many large Uhauls all over the place and I drove a school bus in high school for 3 years. | |

Tom, you may not need a CDL guide dog. Your standard class "C" operator's licensee allows you to drive single vehicle less than 26001#. Call DMV and ask, it is worth a try. What are they going to tell you- either yes or no. As an example, take your U-Haul. If you are driving it for yourself and it has a GVW of less than 26K, you don't need a CDL. But if you are driving the same truck for hire, or someone else, you do need a CDL. | |

Tom, my F450 has a CGWR of 33,000 lbs, and I've been told that it is acceptable for taking a CDL test, with the exception of obtaining an air brake endorsement.
If you don't need to use air brakes, you're welcome to use it.

You all are great! I love this forum. After I take and pass my written test I will be in touch with all who offered to help to figure out a time to take the driving test. | |
