Newbie needs help asap

"I just need to do the pre trip walk around and the behind the wheel. DMV said they are booked solid. Any help or ideas would be "
Go to one of the schools and take the WHOLE CLASS all 140hours or so. Driveing a combo veh. is more than just pulling a boat trl. or pop up camper. This sounds harsh but it's the truth.
What company is willing to hire a guy so new that he can't even be considered a newbie? A rip off or bottom feeder. Go to the school and get the training you need!

The job starts on March 4th and the soonest I can get an appointment with DMV is March 18th. I live in Sacramento California and am looking for some help. I thought I heard that there were schools that could give the Class A license that DMV would honor. Is this true and if so are they short schools that would fit in my time frame? Like I said, I already have my permit, I just need to do the pre trip walk around and the behind the wheel. DMV said they are booked solid. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated. HELP!!!

What company was this?

Did you check that carrier on a rip off site? I would drop them like a hot potato. It does not sound like it's a legit company to me.

GEE, I think we scared him off! I hope that he gets the training he needs and stays away from that "job"

Must have been your sigline! :p
