    I am seeking advise from anyone who has anything interesting to say or knowlege about CDL test sites in the state of Indiana. I am trying to get a CDL, have passed all my written test and have taken the skills/driving test twice. It seems to me that I am being nit picked badly. I'm not new to Truck Driving. I have been driving Semi Tractor & Trailer's for farm use for 20 yrs. I have also been driving Fire Engines and Ladder trucks for 17yrs. I have worked on them with my dad and for the Fire Dept Garage for several years. I will just say I believe there are some problems with the test site I have been going to. It seems that I am being held to a higher standard than some other people I know who have taken this test from what I have been told by several people. And frankly, it's getting to be quite expensive. Where should I go?

    Hello, DRM and Welcome to the Site:)

    Don't get discouraged. It is common for drivers to have to take the test more than once. The stress of worrying about it does not help during test time, in which I am sure you are aware.

    Best of Luck!!!!

    I took my 1st test at the Fort Wayne test site ( North American Van Lines), after 1 week in a truck, no school. I failed the skills test. I didn't care for the personnel there much, made me uncomfortable. I took my 2nd test 1 week later in Wakarusa, In. (Horizon Transport), and passed. The people there were a lot more laid back and I was a lot more relaxed. I didn't see that site listed on the above list, it's been 16 yrs. ago, but you might check with BMV or call Horizon Transport to see if they still have a test site. I can get you their phone number if you can't find it, just let me know.
