Profile For Theo A.

Rob, I think I am looking for loopholes that just arent there.. I am still open to getting a class A, especially since it's the gold standard of licences.

G-town if you haven't guessed it, I have a tendency to overthink things, it's both a blessing and a curse, autonomous trucks are probably the least of things to be concerned about for me at this time.

Thank you to everyone that replied.

Thank you for your input Old School, I may end up with a class A afterall, there is just something about the backing and maneuvering a combination vehicle that makes me uneasy, i'd be much more comfortable drivng a straight truck class B. I have been thinking about getting my CDL for a year now, I better do it now because 15-20 years from now autonomous trucks may be a reality.

Hi there, I was reading through this website and thought maybe this would be a good place to ask. I see a lot of "paid training" for class A licences, but have yet to come across paid training for a class B licence. I am aware that you can use a class A license for driving class B vehicles, but I really don't want to rough it through 5-6 weeks of training if I can just get a class B licence instead.

My question is, if I were to study the CDL manual and attain my permit, would it be possible to skip driving school and just rent a class B truck for personal use to pass the pre trip and road test at the dmv?

Much appreciated
