Where is everyone #5

I have a parking lot with room for practicing maneuverability that you are free to use if you wish, but I'm in the same boat as you are with driving on the road.

If you don't mind me asking, how much are schools charging?

 

@PoleCrusher. So I'm guessing it a Ercer policy thing? Because you as a owner OP are allowed to train a few drivers per year. I'm really on the same boat. I have plenty of space, but with out pee test and job application it's no go on the road.

Have you checked job and family services of Ohio. Last I knew they would pay for a driver to get a licence. Or help pay for it.


Maybe make friends with a farmer that dont fall under motor carrier regulations? Just make sure the equipment passes the inspection before she tests. Really in Ohio anyone over 16 can drive if it is exempt commodity owned by that farm.

 

@PoleCrusher do you have your own bobtail/non truck policy? Cover up there name, empty not under dispatch what can they say?

 

You can use a pickup and a trailer as long as the gvw of the two combined are over 26k.

If she needs air brakes you can use your truck. All she has to do is the brake portion of the pretrip on it for that endorsement.

 

Just make sure that it's what you want.

 

Shows how smart I am, lol.

Went and did some reading, that car was a bit of an odd duck.

Be cool as heck to own one.

 

Our local vocational school is $4700. Cheapest school and preferred option, cause they have a 10 week class that goes on Saturdays. Plus they will know what's needed to be done for the test.

The next cheapest school was $9500, with most being around that $10k range.

I'm wondering if maybe we shouldn't open a driving school?

 

Yea kind of a VW look a like in the making lol.....

 

LOL no I use theirs, hard to beat $20 a month for bobtail.
