    Does anyone know if you are able to rent a truck big enough with air breaks to take to a testing cite with someone who has a CDL Class A?

    Highly unlikely.....normally truck rental places only rent to 'qualified" businesses.

    Ya I would go to school. Other than that maybe you could talk to a manager at the truck rental place. Everybody has a price right.

    Depends where you at probably. There were couple guys in Chicago who would bring their automatic day cab truck to dmv by your appointment time and rent to you for $300 or so

    My buddy did this and it cost him $400. Unfortunately, he failed the first time so he had to dig deep for another $400.

    I failed my first exam too . I failed at the pre-trip part lucky me i was with my fathers truck but he got so upset that i failed he said he wont give me the truck to take the exam again so i had to pay for a truck and also he didn't even give me a lift so i had to go 6 miles with the bicycle to the exam of course the instructor laughed at my story :)) did everything great and got home with my cdl of course another 6 miles with the bicycle

    Rent the smallest truck you can find. Don't take your test in anything huge. Google CDL RENTAL and insert your state. You may have to drive across the state to find a place.
