Flood recovery

I need a Dump truck, a Dozer and an excavator and it seems a CDL! Half of my land moved on 9/27/24. I need to put it back. I have passed my DOT phys yesterday, today, I passed 4 knowledge tests (General, Air brakes, Combination and Doub/tripl) and received my CDL permit. This is in Johnson city TN and I live in Butler. Being retired, 68yo,male I do not plan on working in this industry. I know make God laugh! So I plan on securing a single axle air brake 32k gvw dump , a deck over 12t gvw tag trailer to tow my 18k midi ex and 16k Komatsu D37 dozer. I still have to take ELDT online ( will start tonite). Any advice as to what next? Ie truck school, friend with truck or ?
Thank you for reading.
Also investigated farm exception and although legal our local trooper says he'll red tag me everytime he sees me, He says dump trucks, excavators and dozers not farm equipment, Que sera. With CDL I can smile and hand it over. My farms are 16 miles apart. The flooded one will receive top soil from the non flooded one

 

I gently told him the same thing. He said"I'll still red tag and tow and maybe the judge agrees with you, Ill still do it."
Then again the way the statute reads here in TN I can use the exemption 180 days out of 365. It'll probably take me 2- 3 years to repair property.
I also figure non-cdl equipment around here is more expensive than cdl equipment on the used market. So the license will benefit me.
I guess what I am looking for in a school is one that i could take a couple of weekends training on their equipment that I can do the skills test and pre insp tests at their facility. Our local school offers a 4 week course or 6 weekends for $4000 cash. They dont have an opening for 3 months.

 

I agree with the posts here and we have our USDA farm number and tax exemption. Where I live I have to stay on the right side of all families. the fellas at the store say hes an ####### but hes jimmys boy. Im to old to start or finish a fight anymore. I make more friends with my JLG boomlift than I do with the fishin boat. My neighbor has a wrecker and a Day cab I could use but I think I would be better served with newer equipment. Are there some schools in TN that do the testing on site with their equipment? Ill finish the ELDT this weekend and have the written done so I would need pre trip inspection and road testing with their equipment. Im not seeing such on the internet and my friends got their licenses 30 years ago.
Thanks David
