I am trying to change careers... after coaching for 15 years I have decided that I would like to be a truck driver... this should not be a surprise since I am from Ganado TX and all of the men i grew up with were Truck Drivers or worked in the oil field. I am looking forward to my new career and companies are ready to hire me here in Victoria... I took the A CDL passed I took the T endorsement and passed... I can no take the HAZMAT which I am ready to pass until I pass the DPS driving test... How the hell do I do this without a truck... Victoria College has a trucking degree and certifications but it's 4,000 for 3 days if i read the site right... or $300 for a school in Houston... Can anyone give me any leads of how to get the drivers test done without asking a personal friend to borrow his truck HE CAN NOT TRAIN ME UNTIL I HAVE MY A CLASS... Unless I'm wrong and my former B class is a real A now even without the driving test... I am highly confused pissed and need to know how to do this so I can get my HAZMAT while I have great companies still hiring... Or if you know of someone that will take me now and train me at their yard that would be great too... can send them my resume and references... markfreeman93@yahoo.com And if you can call and help me speed up the process that would be even better.
