    I have a class a cdl with a #5 restriction which is no tractor/trailer. I drove a truck with a trailer for a my last job but we used pentil hooks and not fifth wheels. How do i get that restriction off my license? some people told me all I needed to do was the walk around with dmv,but dmv says they are not sure. They never had anyone like this ask

    Hello DanielN and Welcome to the Site:)

    You would have to take the road test with the tractor trailer at the DMV office, or with a third party tester.
    When you took your road test before, you only tested in the tractor, correct?

    Did the tractor have the fifth wheel plate? Why did you not get the endorsement for the trailer? The field test would have required that you park the trailer into either a 45 or 90 degree angle (alley dock) as well as maneuvers before the road test.
