    I'm 21, live in south florida. Took my permit test just this past Tuesday and passed every test with maybe 4 wrong total. Now the hard part is how to take the driving test and get my license.

    I drive full time already but for a 2k pound under CDL requirement vehicle equipped with air breaks and I have been driving it for the past 6 months.

    Dont know anyone that has a class A to rent a truck with me and take the test, and I'm not feeling like going 7k in debt to go to a school when I already know most everything I need. Any suggestions on how to find some one to rent the truck for me to take the test?

    Several companies hire to train. But you have to be 23 first (in many states).
    Maybe find a farmer who has a truck to train with.

    Schools around me let you rent their truck and trailer for testing purposes only. I don’t know how much it is but I think both schools near me do this.

    I would find a company that would train you. Then ask them to let you use there truck for the road test. You will have proven to them that you would be an asset. Maybe they would make you sign a work contract in exchange. Way cheaper than a $6000 school.
