Hey guys. I have a job opportunity that requires a cdl to be hired but once on I will not be driving.I have my cdl A permit. I live south of Athens ga and I was trying to get some driving lessons enough to pass the road test, any ideas. I don't have the vacation time to take off more than two weeks. I need them by 2nd week in June. Any help or info would be appreciated.
Help deadline.

If you will not be driving then why the CDL requirement ?

It's a union job and you have to have cdl to get on the list.

Thanks. It might come to that. If anyone else has any suggestions I would appreciate them as well.

It's kind of difficult to find someone unless you personally know them. Truckers make their money hauling freight plus insurance limitations to train someone on the side. For someone to train you they would probably need $60 an hour just to break even on expenses. So asking around is kind of a lost cause because no stranger will give up big bucks for little bucks.
At a bare minimum you could find someone with lets say a Ford F650 pulling a >10,000 lb GVWR trailer would put you over the >26,000 lbs GCWR to get your class A. You really wouldn't have to train in that if you have backing experience. A dump truck and lowboy would work too.
Other than that you would have to go through one of these 3 week schools out there. There's a few that have night classes.
There are some places like this in GA but I don't know anything about them.
