    I already have tested in Washington State. I failed the road test there and i just relocated to MA. Can anyone please advise me where i can rent a truck to test? Are there any schools that will allow me to just practice on backing or i have to pay for the entire course? My WA permit is still valid i wonder if i can use it in MA or i have to apply for a MA permit? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    There is colleges that will let you use there semi as long as someone is working that day but it's not cheap,plan on over 100.00 an hr.Back when I got my cdl I used a semi from a college which would have costed me 150.00 an hr but because the instructor liked me he didn't charge me anything but did the other student I drove with.So I stayed there all day the other guy left after 2 hrs.The instructor took me home.I go there 60 miles to use their semi and ended up with the instructor,lol.He taught students on leaning how to operate heavy equipment like bulldozers and such.You'll have to call the school and make an appt on the day and time you wanna use their rig.

    The school is in Sheldon,Iowa.Don't know where you're at but there has to be schools in your area that will let you borrow their semi.
