CDL Test Truck

How are you supposed to get a CDL through an employer? That's how I got mine. Lot's of warehouse guys get CDL's through their job... but apparently not in WA?? (ps I used to live in Northgate... LOVED it!!!)

 

Drove with them recently, not good. Billy takes everything personaly, loves to lecture you, looks for any reason to force you to reschedule the drive ($150 resched fee).

 

YES, it is a Scam. Here are all the details you'll ever need in this thread: CDL TEST TRUCK aka CDL Services SCAM in Allen, TX

 

Does anyone know how long after receiving your permit can you take the driving test in Michigan?? Ive had my CDL in the past but let it go for some dumb reason but I have continued driving with the farm endorsement.

 

CDL Test Truck is not a school (it will not get you a job) but is an easy and fast way to get your CDL Class A license. Billy will take you on the Garland DPS test course the morning (early) the day of your driving exam. There were six others taking the driving test the same day; I assume they all passed. I was number 3 to drive and the two ahead of me passed with an A rating. I didn't find anything fishy or illegal about what he is doing. My only complaint is Billy has a foul mouth but he did not cuss anyone in the driver seat. Overall, they deliver what they advertise and nothing more.

 

I've heard of people who've trusted this Billy character and never gotten their CDL. This so-called "Billy" aka Edwin William Bedford charges students $650+ while advertising $250. I know of At Least 10 former students of his that paid $650, but never received their CDL. "Billy" is a con-artist who needs to stop stealing people's money. Anyone reading this thread can easily find what kind of person he really is. Google is your friend.

 

The key word is you 'heard'; I know for a fact that he delivered what we agreed to for $250. After driving the Garland road test a few hours prior to the examiner test; I passed with an 'A' and now have my CDL A license. It's likely not his day job but he provided instruction on how to pass the test prior to the actual test. I've met "Billy" one time and I found no reason to feel he scammed me or the other seven that day. I got my CDL A license with ease so called it what you wish.

 

I'm in touch with another instructor who personally spoke with at least 10 former students of Billy. Those who Billy scammed went to this other instructor, and that's how I know that many were scammed by him. At first, this other instructor paid no mind to Billy's misdeeds. However, after he discovered how many were ripped-off, he starting making a list. So, these scammed students spent $650 with Billy, never got their CDL, and had to finish with another instructor. This other instructor gave Billy's former scammed students a discount because he felt bad they wasted their money with Billy.

Not his day job? It's his entire business! He has a truck that says CDL TEST TRUCK on it. It's HIS BUSINESS. He's the only instructor. I spoke with Billy's other students the morning of their road test and they told me they spent way more than $250. They were forced to reschedule and pay $250 down-payment plus $60 fuel charge, plus $150 reschedule fee, which = $460. These other students that I spoke personally with had been waiting to get their CDL for over a month. They all paid more than the quoted $250. That's when I realized this is a bait and switch operation. This is not hearsay - I have personal knowledge and these are facts.

 

Sounds like if you do well you pass, if you screw up you get fees dumped on you to continue/try again. So... you pay the price for screwing up and seeking a cheap option in the first place. Eventually as failing students continue to fail they eventually realize they shouldn't have sought the cheapy option, and should've gone to a more formal school. Then they boohoohoo because they were "scammed." Dude/Billy doesn't sound so hot, kinda rough around the edges! but scammer, seems doubtful.
