Use your truck for the day?

Where is the original poster located ? I went through the same and found a CDL rental company that specializes in renting equipment for state tests.

Chicago area.

 

they rent to established business with good credit and/or sizable deposit ($10k deposit?)

I wish I had a dime for every plan that starts with borrow or rent a semi to get my CDL.

 

If your already set up and will be buying a truck why not just wait till you have it and it's legal and have a CDL holder drive it to test site for you then take the test.

 

He may have insurance issues trying this method. In IL you can not register a commercial vehicle if you do not have a CDL Plus insurance may be an issue.

Why not travel to a state with CDL rental equipment avail for testing then transfer your CDL back into CT?

 

Where are you planning on getting work?

There IS a huge demand for moving freight in our area. Whole lotta cheap though.

What you are blindly jumping into, you will find: is that without exception a multi faceted landscape company in this area has a lot higher return on investment than a single truck freight moving operation.

I've noticed your Craigslist postings since you first put them up. I didn't realize that was your plan, to get your own mc.

As an observation: if you can't throw $1500 at a driving school bribe to get your license, what's gonna happen when you have an actual problem that requires lots of money?

 

You are buying a 2013 FL for $350,000?

Just put the $10,000 deposit down and go get the rental truck. You'll get it back, as long as you don't wreck the truck.

I wouldn't rent you a truck, too much liability and illegal. Legally I can't let anybody drive one of my trucks that isn't a employee, on our insurance, and in our drug testing pool.
