My husband and I have been studying to get our B class CDL but we don't have a truck to take the test in. On top of needing a truck, we would also need a driver to go along with us. We've contacted local truking companies but they all say their insurance won't cover it. We tried Ryder Trucks but they don't have the airbrakes needed for the endorsement. We contacted the local driving schools but they said their trucks are only for their students. We checked on going to the schools and they charge an average of $3,000 each for the class. It seems terrible to pay that when we have already done the studying. We were hoping some of you "experienced" expeditors may have dealt with problem and solved it.
Maybe an expert can help us with a problem.

I know that you can take your test from a third party testing center and you can rent the truck from them. I took my test at CDL of Northern Ohio which is in Willard. The test was $50 and the truck was $150. I would imagine that other states have the same type of setup.

We rented a truck with airbrakes from Rollins Trucking in Jacksonville, Fla. in '99. It cost us $150 for the day and we drove to a Trucking school where we had arrainged to take the Driver's test for $100.00 each. Keep researching, and best wishes.:7 :7
