Maybe the stoopidest question ever posted:
I got my Class A driving an F750 with a trailer. The truck was an automatic. Am I limited now to only driving automatics?

If the vehicle you use for your driving test does not have these components, your vehicle will not be considered as having an air brake system and you will have a "No Air Brakes" restriction on your CDL.

but what do I know? hehe. i still am not sure if I can drive a stick. sorry shanhamm, but I'm still not convinced. in fact, since this airbrake deal has a "No Air Brakes" restriction, I wonder if I could have a "No Manual Transmission" restriction... and I wonder how one would find this out?

If you are in CA and test with an auto you are restricted to auto only. On the front of your license where it says restrictions there should be a number. That number is a code for the type of restriction you have. If there is no number there, than maybe you got lucky.

Yes, you can get a CDL a without an airbrake endorsement, its all about the GVWR on the truck and trailer..

I want to go otr but my only exper. is towing movie studio trailers around. thats what I trained in, tested in and drove. So I got doubs/trips. I'm in Calif. if that make a difference. Sandra Bulllock's movie studio, which is located at the old City of Austin Airport, was designed to acomodate three to five projets; they are now operating seven different projects here. It has been phenominally successful. Want to learn more about winning small supporting roles in movies that can pay some pretty decent dinero?? I am NOT talking aout movie "Extras" PM me!! |
