For some state's is a requirement for the state people to have a CDL, but certainly not every state. I would state personally that this is why I'd prefer to go through a third party tester and their examiners. Third party examiners (I'm 99% sure) have to have a CDL. The fact is that CDL holders are just more realistic where as the state examiners are going of 100% paper /technical perfections. I am of course an old fart and was doing the third party examiner gig before MOST trucks were automatics so that should make the tests easier as the effects of having to learn shift and being really new at it effects EVERYTHING else on the test. I have tested several people who started out fine, missed a couple of shifts and just mentally collapsed and failed everything.
Is it true CDL examiners at DMV don't have a CDL themselves?

I did the same with the third-party examiner and he told me I did everything correctly and the DMV examiner shouldn't have failed me. NY does not allow third parties so I simply went to NJ to get around New York's stupid rule that only the DMV can administer it, aka people without a CDL and have an attitude. I did what this guy had done:
-
-
- Opening new testing sites
- Speed up appointments (In NY, where only the DMV can administer the test, you can expect to wait nearly 1 month for the next available appointment because the DMV has too many people to be tested).
- Have actual CDL-holders conduct the tests. They can better explain your mistakes and if you failed, what you need to practice on.

You guys know that a lot of cops who pull trucks over don’t have a cdl?
you don’t need one to be an examiner, it doesn’t make you a better examiner or more intelligent because a cdl is very easy to get in the first place.tscottme and brian991219 Thank this. -
