Need A Trck To Take The CDL Exam In Class A

Hi I am in South Carolina and have my permit already however I was wondering if anyone new where I could get a truck to take the driving exam in?

KW, I'm curious why you are taking this "Maverick" approach to obtaining your CDL. Do you not realize that you will need a training certificate indicating that you have had 160 hours of training from an accredited trainer? That training certificate is just as, if not more, important than the license when it comes to getting hired on with a trucking company. That certificate must be on file with your employer because the D.O.T. can, and may very well, audit them for things like this.

We recently had someone come through here asking how he could obtain a training certificate because the small company that he was driving for was being audited and they hired him with no experience and no certificate. They were acquaintances of his and told him that if he would get his CDL they could put him to work driving a truck for them. Now they are all in a panic because of an audit taking place at their place of business. He took the same approach as you and it turned out badly for him.

You really should go through a training program. If you are short on money, and who isn't these days, then there are ways to do this for free. You can get grants for Truck Driving Schools, or you can go through a Company-Sponsored Training program.

I hope you will re-consider your approach. When I attended a truck driving school we had a young man in there who had gotten his CDL by borrowing a friends truck and he had been driving a garbage truck locally for two years, but when he decided to get an OTR truck driving job he found that no one would even come close to hiring him, so he had to get his mom to finance his schooling for him so that he could get that training certificate. If you want the doors of opportunity to be wide open to you then you really should take the path that's proven it's worth time and time again.
