    I have crap luck...I am currently in the process of obtaining my CDL. Wasted 4 1/2 weeks at a "free cdl training program" then had to fork over a pretty penny to a third party company to rent their truck to take my road test on. Took two weeks to get scheduled in at the DPS. I failed the pre-trip portion of the test (I received the whole truck). Now I have to reschedule for the exam which is another three weeks away. Any fellow Texas truckers who know where or how I can utilize a third party examiner to take the test? I don't know any other third party examiners outside of cdl schools. Open to all suggestions...

    Where are you in Texas?
    You still have the cdl permit, so hire on with a company that hires drivers with only the permit.
    You'll be able to finish the process while driving and earning a paycheck at the same time.

    I am in in the DFW area. That is what i am looking at doing. I would just hate to get locked into a contract since I have heard most of those places will do that.

    Contracts aren't a bad thing in most cases. Companies don't want to spend money training someone, then they bail out after training is completed.
    Labatt Food Service in Dallas/Ft. Worth hires drivers with only a CDL Permit.
