    If the company your with now is letting you drive once a week and you are confident in your skills. Why not just use there truck and take your test ASAP. Once you have your license it will open the door to many other companys or at the least you wont be tied to a company like England to repay cdl training if you become unhappy.

    Cause I don't know my verbal air brakes, and I'm not quite sure how to alley dock, but if I can do a 100% parallel, alley docking shouldn't be a problem

    Not to mention the truck this place has rattles like it's gonna fall apart, the city horn doesn't work, and it has a little air leak, none of which my company or the dealer we take it to will fix

    The town I live in (midland tx) has a cdl school at the community college here

    Only problem with that is I don't have $4,100 to drop at once

    So call your local office and let them figure out if you're eligible.

    I should mention everything i can do with a tractor I learned on my own, as the guy they had me go out with is a year older than me, failed his own test 6 times, and has been in like 6 or 7 accidents
