Changes to CDL TESTING LOCATIONS in TEXAS!

well it's prob a GOOD thing they are going to start actually making sure someone can do a decent pre-trip. when i got mine it was written, got to testing site and the instructor that drove us there just looked at the lady and said "yeah it passed a pre-trip."

the rest seems standard issue, except for the one location thing... guess since most of the schools stopped taking outa state folks it cut down on the number of places needed...that or it's gonna be a nightmare trying to schedule your test...

 

One testing location seems like it would be nearly impossible. Especially in a state as large as Texas. And I agree that the pre-trip test is a joke.

 

I think that he means one location for his part of the state. Texas would need at least 8 or more locations around the state, or everyone would be driving hours to get to one. Back when I first got mine it was a hard pre-trip test. Was on everything, and if you missed an item like lugnuts on a wheel, then said you would do both sides the same, they would take the points away for every lugnut you missed.

Backing was Straight, Alley dock see side, alley dock blind side, serpentine (had to be within 16 inches of each barrel). Of course, I was in the first CDL group tested for my school, so the state of LA did not know for sure how intensive the test needed to be at that point. So they went with every option. Things have changed allot since 1991.
