Wilmington, NC Getting a truck for CDL test.

Does anyone in the Wilmington, NC area have a class A tractor/trailer available on the 8th of February? I have a CDL Class A Pre trip and driving test to complete, and need somebody with a Class A to accompany me, and lend me a rig for the test. I am a photographer and jack of all trades, and could barter and pay for diesel if that will help. I've had some driving experience, and I have many employment options available, but I need the CDL to make it happen, and I'm getting desperate for a truck.

Hoping someone can help.

Thanks

 

Thanks, I do have a craigslist account, but I don't know what you mean by a sponsor?

My paper permit is good for 20 days, and I believe they mail me a permit in NC, but not sure for how long that is good.

I'd be more than willing to pay for fuel, and a small hourly rate sounds plenty fair too!.

I posted in the "wanted" section, and offered to pay for fuel, and barter family portraits, or photos, as I'm a photographer too, or barter whatever other things someone may need, as I'm sort of a jack of all trades in electrical/mechanical/ homebuilding/and small home repair/ some auto repairs, etc.

But so far no takers.

I guess I'll repost on c.list and keep praying

Thanks

 

Ok.. found out some details!

1) Permit good for 6 months.

2) Penske, Ryder, Etc... don't rent a class A truck, unless you have a class A licence, and a business with 1 million insurance coverage.

3) Found a nice gentleman with his own company who is willing to let me use his truck and trailer, and go with me to the test. He's helped others before, and knows what it's like to start with nothing. So... prayers answered!!! Thanks for all of them, and BIG thanks to my helper.

 

I'm scheduled for February 8th in Wilmington # CFCC. And the paper permit is expired, but I've already received my plastic one.

And thank you so much for telling me about the 5 year deal! I had no idea!

I knew it'd cost something, just didn't know how much.

So... my CDL A, plus tanker endorsement, plus doubles + triples endorsement...

my math says CDL A # 15 per year = $75.00

and two endorsements # 3 each, is $30.00

so I should show up with a check or cash for $105.00

not cheap, but worth it!!!
