Backstory- I had a Class A permit, got into a 8 week course to train, but found out the hard way I can't drive a manual. :(
I didn't let that deter me though. I got my permit downgraded to a Class B. This way I can still drive,but with automatics( I hope). I have Airbrake, P, S, and Tank endorsements and will get the Hazmat once I get my license.
However, I'm having trouble securing a class b vehicle to train and road test in. What companies etc do you recommend that would let me rent their vehicle for a week or two?
Also do you think they will let me sign a notarize statement or some sort that will let them know I will work for them in turn if they train me. Some places I've asked at have been skittish about the training because they have had bolters. People would get trained, and then leave right after, and go elsewhere.
Would applying for driver jobs with just a permit be helpful in securing someone to train me. I would of of course work for them afterwards.
Does the trainer have to have a Class A or B license. Or can they have a regular one?
