How would you get a cdl licensed driver to then let you use his truck or rent a truck

Go on youtube watch the video of a truck rental in Texas for 200.00 and you will get big boobs and 5 inch heels as a bonus, oh the truck is pink lol

 

Pretty much only if you know somebody that has their own truck, or rent.

 

If you plan on going in this direction, you might want to see if anyone will hire you first. Most places only want recent grads from a CDL school. You may have to go to school anyway.

A CDL means nothing if no one will hire you.

 

If you are going to get into the industry do it right the first time. This will save you lots of time and money. Like the other poster said, most companies will only hire you if you have attended an accredited school. This is mainly due to their insurance.

Otherwise everyone would just rent a truck, its a lot cheaper! Don't cheat yourself, get the proper training.

 

many schools will cut a deal to let you do half the traing for half the money then let you use thier truck for dmv

 

Be sure to comb through this website as there are others who have went this route and have posted their results. Actually they are more less asking what to do now!

 

place an ad on Craig's list. offer at the very minimum of $50 per hour for at least 4 hours. that'll be $200.

but do not expect calls right away, but you can go this route.

more importantly, as stated, who will actually hire you??

sure, you "may" get your CDL, but how much practice can you afford to pay each time??

you really may want to see if the local driving school near you has "ala-cart" training schedules, some do, some don't.

 

There are a few places in my neck of the woods that rents out trucks for testing. It was about $400 bucks to practice in their truck for two hours and then as much time at the DMV as it took to get you in to test. They actually set up the test for you and can get in quicker that way than making your own appointment.

As far as worrying about not being from an accredited school, I didn't worry about it and it worked out fine for me. And almost everyone I know that drives did it the same way. The big companies may shy away but tons of small places will hire you on.
