    The same way they get a class A, take the tests and then take a road test.

    Best way is to find a accredited school like maybe a tech school that offers the program for a class B. They will supply the truck and classroom portion you would need. Go to the DMV and get a book to study for your permit first.

    Your best source of information is your DMV who can give you the study material and the information for the road test.

    I don't know exactly what your asking, but take the gen knowledge, airbrakes and for the road test take a bobtail or a dumptruck.

    can rent a truck from ryder just make sure it has airbrakes.

    class b is way easier to get since you don't have to go through school. just pick up a book study it. take the gen knowledge and airbrakes tests and do a road test.
