I passed it yesterday it what not easy but thank god i got it on the first try.
that take a load of your head.My friend was in one of the last groups from the last test and he said that it wasn't to easy either. the only thing is that you have to pay for everything. With dsny they take 25 a week out of pay.
big tony how many people passed the road test in your group
i think it a good idea to find somebody already with a Class-"B" CDL to rent a ryder truck or something to practice with to get familiar with (especially) the airbrakes and its use/operating procedures for PSI and all that crap. ..just to get the "feel" so your not nervous when you first go. But of course .....Yall need to get crackin with your CDL PERMITS!
i'm not to sure but i don't think rental trucks have air breaks
wow, grins ...only 2 outta 12 passed? what freakin training school did you guys go to? i dont know but i think the DSNY training is sounding better&better.
I went to a place called modle driving school in manhattan
I have no choice,my permit expires 1/09,no way am I going to take the written tests all over again. It doesn't matter to me how long it takes to get my CDL,all I want is to get it before my permit expires next year. I am not even in the 1st round,my list number might not be called for at least another 2 yrs.
The pre trip inspection is the number one reason why people fail. They won't even let you take the skills/driving part of the test if you fail the pre trip.

sometime they give you a break on the pre trip inspection I didn't realy know what i was doing on it but as long as you know a little bit they let you slide with some parts but maybe it was just the guy i had.
an i think you can renew your permit before it expires with out taking the test again
Oh I didn't know that. On the pre trip you don't have to go under the truck or anything like that right? Just under the hood and around the truck from top to bottom. I think it is overkill,we are not going to be diesel mechanics,the air brakes are the most important part of the pre trip. You are right though it depends on the road test examiner,still it is good to be prepared and know everything that might be on the pre trip.
Whats up, wondering ,if you dont have your cdl when you are called does it slow down you getting hired,and if you do have it do you get on faster .
i dont think so.look up the old post that talked about it.if i remember correctly he said he passed his med,drug etc,then took the cdl training and then waited for 6 months.had to take the med again.i think dsny calls in a 1000 or so ,gets a eligible list and calls off that list over time.now if your dr allen no 1 ,well thats a different story.
The pre-trip Inspection is a major attribute to whether you pass or fail. The DMV CDL Manual has good info but, it is somewhat "vague" and requires you to take training.
grins, "ryder" rents (the white trucks) w/airbrakes depending on commercial weight class- you just need a commercial driver to rent it.
