Need to Rent Truck for Road Test!!
Thank you sir! Though your replies have been totally off topic according to my original question lol. The advice you have given me is contrary to the information that I am trying acquire. The company that wants to hire me has company regulations. In a totally different state at that. Like I stated previously, I do in fact have my permit only, I need to obtain my cdl by renting a truck through a 3rd party in the Houston area, ideally at a discounted price otherwise advertised from the corporate suits. This being a trucking forum, I was hoping for advise from fellow truckers that may have been through similar experiences, whom which could guide me in the right direction. I am all too familiar with what you have said, hence I am also very aware of the route you are suggesting.

The thing is, I in fact have the money to rent a truck at asking prices.(I'd like to go through a 3rd party and not deal with corporate folks who try to stick ppl for their hard earned money. I am not new to this.) Also I have a Company wanting to hire me on the spot(with my cdl in tact though with the experience I have...mind you, within the 9 years of my trucking career I have had hazmat, tankers, doubles and triples, every endorsement under the sun to be honest. MY question was merely directed towards those who have experience with or personally know individuals who will rent out their truck for a driving test. Getting a gig is not my problem...being over charged is however. Thank you for your feed back but I think there was a misunderstanding.

Good day y'all! Hope all is well...I'm new to the forum. I'm wondering if anyone one on here is familiar with the Houston area and knows anyone who rents out truck and trailers for the DPS road test. Long story short, I drove truck for 9 years, unfortunately... I voluntarily gave up my CDL about 4 years ago due to the desire of a career change. (Yes, i know...BAD CHOICE). I should have just renewed it and kept it lol. Now I want to get back in a truck and start hauling again! I just got my permit but now I need to go do the road test without paying a ridiculous amount just for an hour or so of testing! I need y'alls help!!! '

Thank you all! I have come across a few different CDL schools that offer truck and trailer rental specifically for the CDL road test! They actually deliver them to the DPS the day of testing! For future reference, anyone who is in a similar situation, make some calls around and you could just get lucky! Also I found a few 3rd party companies that offer the same although the prices are much higher than the CDL schools. Have a blessed week y'all!
