    Hello Peoples

    So i work in the marketing industry and i've decided to step my game up by getting a class A License. I been doing my research and i've come across these ad's for brochures to help me take the test but i'm wondering about the driving test. I really don't want to shell out that dough for a school not the way the economy is now. I'm open to suggestion and comments as to what route to take.


    Thanks

    GQ

    well the more cost effective is knowing some one... anyone in the family have a truck... you can get A with a dumptruck and a trailer... theres many ways around big classes and signing your life away...

    its not the same class unless it looks like it... IE get a trailer on the back... but if you havent driven before it doesnt handle like your conventional class a... but like i said its way way way way way cheaper... i ended up spending 5620$ to get my class a 3 years ago and 2 weeks into my first job my boss had my take a new guy with me in the dumptruck so he can get his a... i was pretty pissed...........
