I'm a driver with about about five years of experience. But, it's been a little over three years since I had pulled a trailer and maybe eight since I had to shift gears.
Took a driving test of Thursday for what would have been #### close to a dream job for me. Still can't believe it, but they failed me on the driving test.
This was by far the most involved driving test that I have ever had to deal with. I do think that the guy was a little unfair on some things, but I can also admit that I am out of practice and it was obvious during the test.
What I really need it just to get back behind the wheel for a day. Few hours of shifting, some tight turns and some hard backs without having someone with a clipboard judge my every move, and I'll be good to go.
Are there places that will rent a truck and trailer for a day, or are there other places where I can get ahold of one for a day?

Correct, last time I called Ryder they told me you had to be an existing business for 5years and numerous credit references,etc.
If you're business was in a good situation, and you needed to rent a truck for a day/week, you certainly wouldn't go to Ryder with their $800/wk 21c/mile when you could just go to Peterbilt or something and get it for $400/wk and 7c/mile
Makes me wonder how they rent any out? But according to them, they're not sure if they even have any tractors available because they are "so busy" lol -

Just do like I did many moons ago... keep road testing with various companies until you acquire enough "practice".
