non CDL straight truck to CDL
A little help. I have been driving a straight truck (26,000 lb GVR) for 8 1/2 years with airbrakes. I had my class b permit, but i let it expire before I could take the final road test. Any atvantage to having a CDL b with airbrake endorsement for "big boy" school?
Any recomended schools in the richmond virginia area?

I think he's asking if having the class-b will help in class-a school.
If that's the case, and you go to a quality school, then the answer is no - the only beneifts you'll have it getting used to driving 5ft higher up, air lag, and maybe shifting if you were using a nine-speed. Handling the trailer is 90% of class-a work and you've not done that yet. |
