Class B CDL?

go to roadmasters driving school get a class A

 

If all you want is a class B, go to any school bus company, they will gladly train you for a B with passenger and school bus. Yes you can add tank and hazmat, do it all at once so you do not have to retake the skills test ( a simulated railroad crossing is required for tank and even though you would have done it foe the passenger they will make you do it again if you don't just do both at the same time), and be sure to get the air brake restriction removed. Most school bus companies will require you work for them for a school year, 9 months isn't bad and they are not vultures like the mega carriers that train for the class A. Lastly, most school buses are automatic but keep in mind in some states if you test on an automatic you will have an automatic only restriction on your cdl which will limit the companies willing to hire you.

 

Veolia transportation

 

The hazmat ,tanker, doubles,triples, are endorsements and require a Written test only, the skills test is done using an appropriate type vehicle that you want to be licensed on ,you do not have to retest while hauling a tank or haz for example , just straight or combination,over 26,001, or any trailer over 12,000, or any Vic w air brakes, this does not however mean air over hydrolic, as in some medium dutys have, an A covers you for B but not the other way around , as far as automatic only endorsement , I think that's a myth , I am certainly prepared to accept and apologize if some one can show me , its the class of vehicular ,not the trans or engine type , as far as I know, somebody chime in if you can show a reg. Or such .?just get the A seriously , if you put a trailer behind the dump truck ,,,,,,it requires an A anyway.

 

Fantasy

I have a class b license with air brake and tanker endorsement. Basically a waste of time these days. Just about anyone that is unemployed can get free class a training paid for by Obamacare.. Theres so many Class A drivers now that most companys are going to give a class a driver preferential treatment. Remember theres no shortage of people with class a license. Big,shortage of decent paying jobs
