Anyone have experience with Texas CDL rental trucks?

No. I got hired on at Schneider. They taught me how to drive a manual.

 

THANK YOU FOR THE REPLIES. LOOKS LIKE A WAY FOR ME TO GO,

 

thanks BDOG it will be nice to hear how it turns out. does anyone know if you have to do a pretrip with the DOT officer. I know its a written test. but do you have to do both ? Im talking about TX. only...thanks

 

Thanks Bdog, That's strange how some offices do and some don't do pretrip. You would think it would be the same for every site.

 

I got my CDL at Garland and there was no pretrip... You do need to know the Brake Pump Down and Static Air loss tests, just need to tell them how to do it, not actually do it.

 

So to all of you that got your cdl this way, Did you have to go into a company school after ?Or did they put you otr with trainer. also any company names would be helpful. Thanks All.

 

I couldn't find it on their website but most states now have "No tractor trailer" restrictions for people that show up with Class B Vehicles with a trailer pushing them into Class A. Double Check that.

The TX DMV did show a T-Automatic Transmission Restriction
