    Washington State. Is there any work around to get a CDL B besides going to school or working for a company?

    How are schools doing it now? Around here they used to do it in house.

    I highly recommend that you NEVER spend time and $$$$$ to attend a school just to get a Class B CDL. Unless you are committed to just driving a school bus. Go on ahead and get the Class A. You can still drive Class B vehicles and later on, if you change your mind all you will need to drive a big boys truck will be a refresher!
