Need Help! Trade Free Labor

I need an O/O to help me with my backing and driving skills in return for my free labor. I went to and graduated from Western Truck School Jan 11
of this year. I failed my alley doc backup skills test twice at the DMV and only have 1 more chance before I have to get a new permit. So rather than rush to try again I thought I would trade my free labor as a lumper or
cleaning your trucks, or even as a backup driver for a team but probably need an owner operator as all the companies I have contacted said their
insurance companies do not allow permitted drivers to drive. Since I need
to get this Class A license to work to feed my family and pay my bills, I need some help fast and am willing to work free for a couple 2 or 3 weeks in trade for letting me practice backing up alley doc and parallel parking. I
live just north of Sacramento, California and can work anywhere in Northern California. If you can help please respond and I will send you my
resume, cover letter and clean medical and drivers license record. I am older guy at 59 Y O and have good work ethics and history. Also a Veteran. The school made no guarantees and their training is not very
much so I can expect little from them. I need to move on and get this
license. Thank You.

When you are backing up, put your hands at the bottom of the steering wheel. Now push the bottom of the steering wheel in the direction that you want the trailer to go. Remember keep both hands at the bottom of the steering wheel.

i personally do not live anywhere's near california. however, maybe someone that does can help you.............BUT.......from what i am "familiar with", you would only be able to drive on a learner's permit in your home state. once you cross states lines, you are in deep "doo-doo".......as that permit was for your home state only. if an o/o were to help you (and i hope one can), you had better make sure you ain't driving out of state. check with your DMV and see if i am either right or wrong about driving out of state on a learner's permit.

let us know how you make out with this. good luck.
