Message:: [QUOTE="FozzyNOK, post: 12004283, member: 90606"]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.[/QUOTE]
