||
Can you teach me to drive a truck? |
No, we are not a licensed as a truck driving school. You may rent our truck if you need extra practice but, you must have the skills to operate it safely. If you have a permit we will provide a licensed CDL driver to go with you. | ||
What is the CDL Drive Test like? |
The test is divided into three (3) test:
|
||
| What if I fail? | Even though failure do occur from time to time. It is important to understand the CDL Drive Test is not an easy test and is designed to weed out unsafe drivers. Driving for 45 min. a lot can go wrong to even the best driver, look at it as learning experience within itself, try not to make the same mistakes twice, brush up on your defensive and safe driving skills, and practice the part that you failed before returning to re-test. The examiner will critique your driving at the end of the testing, pass or fail; listen closely as you will need this information if you have to repeat the test. If you do fail, before you leave the exam site make another appointment and we will reserve a truck for your next drive test. A free re-test is included in the rental of our truck. |
||
What are the examiners like? |
All of the examiners are employees of the Department of Public Safety and have attended CDL Training and are CDL licensed. They are some the nicest people we have had a pleasure of knowing. Remember they have a duty to perform in keeping our highways safe. | ||
| What are some of the things I can do to get ready for the test? | Practice, practice,
practice, and more practice. A practice is included in
the price of our truck rental, however; in order to keep
our prices low, time is limited, this not a time to learn
driving a truck or learn to backing, it's a time to
sharpen you skills and get ready for the test. If you
need more practice our tucks can be rented by the hour. Other things you can do are go to www.cdlrental/okcdltest.html to the sections Oklahoma Driving Quiz and Oklahoma Street Sign Game, these can refresh you on Oklahoma Traffic Laws and traffic control signs. |
||
| Do I need to buy extra insurance? | No, insurance is provided at no additional charge. | ||
| Can I test for an Oklahoma CDL if I live in another state? | No, you must be a resident of Oklahoma. | ||
| Do you have a vehicle for my School Bus endorsement? | Yes, we have a BuleBird bus with automatic transmission and air brakes. | ||
| Will they give the CDL Drive Test in the rain? | Yes, they will give it in the rain and even in light snow. The only time they will not is when they feel the roadway is unsafe. Last year they did not cancel testing due weather. Remember in inclement weather to always drive with you headlights on! | ||
| Is the CDL Testing process about to change? | Yes, due to federal
DOT regulations the drive test is going to get a lot more
complex with more backing scenarios and a more complex
pre-trip inspections. Undoubtedly, this will lead to
longer testing times, a rise in the failure rate with a
increase in the number of re-test needed, and a increase
in practice time needed. Which will undoubtedly lead to a
increase in the price we charge. We have strived to keep
our prices low, even with the increasing fuel cost. A
date has not been set at this time, but we expect it to
be early next year, 2009. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has proposes to revise the standards for mandatory training requirements for entry-level operators of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate operations who are required to possess a commercial driver's license (CDL). The proposed rule would not apply to drivers who currently possess a CDL or obtain a CDL before a date 3 years after a final rule goes into effect. Following that date, persons applying for new or upgraded CDLs would be required to successfully complete specified minimum classroom and behind-the-wheel training from an accredited institution or program. The State driver-licensing agency would only issue a CDL if the applicant presented a valid Driver Training Certificate obtained from an accredited institution or program.
