Truck For DMV CDL Driving Portion In Virginia

This comes up fairly often and never happens. He will need to go to a school.

 

ther are SOME(read not many) schools/comm college that you can rent truck from them.

 

They only have a 10% success rate and want $3500 down? Sounds like your husband found the worst CDL instructors in North America.

 

Virginia recently decided to rewrite the CDL evaluation process and put it in place 1 July 2015. It seems certain offices didn't get the memo and are in "make it up as you go mode."

Just as an FYI
The Woodbridge DMV has an 80% or above failure rate for first time test takers. Of 32 persons only 1 passed.

The evaluators seem to have widely varying opinions of what constitutes line encroachment (1' or 3' or some other unspecified amount)

On evaluator will state a Class A vehicle without hazmat is required to use the 4 way flashers 200' before a rail crossing (this is only applicable to passenger busses per CDL manual)

Another evaluator believes Z-spring is an incorrect term when discussing suspension components on the PTI.

I would like to know how an evaluator believes an axle grease seal "oil level" can be checked and filled when low...

IMO the Woodbridge DMV is hit or miss - with more miss than hit. The lot is at a very weird angle and because of this a blind side parallel parking task can be very difficult because you will roll forward if not quick on the clutch and several evaluators will call any forward movement a pull up with no exception.

They will not tell you that you must pull completely through the cones either, unless you ask for specific pronouncement of the completion point - and what constitutes a successful straight-back followed by pull up.
