    New trainee here. I went to driving school for the LTL company I work for, now I need to set an appointment at a place which does the final test. I know there are a few around the area of Grand Rapids, but does anyone have any opinions on them? Which one is the best? Which ones won't try to screw me because I didn't go to THEIR school, etc...?

    TIA

    It is just a test, so any of them you select will follow the same routine as the state tells them to do. If you don't pass and feel you got screwed, then it may be a case that you didn't do something right, and that is on the training facility and you.

    An important note for all CDL test applicants: YOU are responsible for ensuring that the commercial vehicle you will be testing in is the correct vehicle for your CDL group designator(s), endorsement(s) and restrictions. The testing examiner WILL NOT tell you whether the commercial vehicle is the correct type. Using a commercial vehicle that does not meet the specifications required for your CDL means your license may not have the group designator(s), endorsement(s) or restrictions that you want. Make sure you have the correct type of commercial vehicle before you test.

    I pulled the above info from SOS Michigan,,,, make sure you test on the correct vehicle

    They are all 3rd party testers, this is how we do it here. NO longer are there any direct road testing done.
