She'll have to go to the DMV and get the CMV rule book and study that, then pass the written tests to get the learners permit.

Once you have the learners permit you're legal behind the wheel as long as someone with a valid Class A is in the passenger seat, you can work with her for as long as it takes to get the shifting, backing and manouvering down.

As for the pre-trip stuff I'd ask the DMV to put you in contact with one of the outside testers. They'll probably give you the info on what they want to see on that.

Then it's up to her to schedule the road test with the local DMV office. Usually when you attend truck school the DMV sends an authorized outside tester to the school to road test everybody on the big day. (One guy puked he was so nervous, lol.) You'll have to get the truck over to the DMV office.

Also get the DOT medical, u cant drive without it and they won't let u take the road test either

One more thing....it may cost a few hundred bucks more but she would have a better chance of taking the test with a third party tester at a local truck driving school...they're not as strict as the DMV
