So just found this out.

In Texas there are places that allow you to rent a semi truck, so you can get your CDL.

Since this is not an actually school, you do not get hired on by a company, HOWEVER certain programs offer job assistant.

This particular guy who we met at the DMV while we were doing our road test, was one dude who rented CDL trucks to students.


How it works is that he rents you a 28 foot AUTOMATIC transmission truck, so that you EASILY pass the CDL road test(as opposed to my school where we drive 53 foot trailers and a manual stick shift :scusthov: )

Once you get the CDL he has a contract with the railroads and he will get you a job there.

They start around 40 an hour.

The beauty of working at the railroads is that while you DO NEED A CDL, you DO NOT drive a truck whatsoever while actually working there.

Just some extra advice for anyone looking for work.

Definitely would of took this route if I knew better

Why do you need one? Idk, probably the same reason you need to know alotta bullshyt for a job that you never use once you get the job.

As for road test, they only teach you enough to pass the DMV test, which is how to back up in a spot(usually takes a week to learn how to back, regardless of if you ever drove a truck or not) and how to drive a truck without hitting curbs. :manny:

Breh I don't know what the requirements are, I work for the city, my boy put me on to this job and he said most of them are easily clearing 100k and I seen it firsthand. He also told me to talk to them and they might put me on, so I just walk around sayin wassup to cats. These guys look dirty and malnourished but they are definitely winnin.

He's a contractor for the railroad or he actually works for the railroad.

Contractors can be real dirty, better watch em.

Whats their usual price?
$400-$500

But trust me, if its an automatic truck, you will pass the road test easy.

hardest thing will be learning how to back. But in Texas the backing test are easy as hell.

One of them is a straight line back(easy as hell, you learn how to do that in 30 minutes)
Other is a blind side parallel park(more challenging, took me 4 days to learn at the academy but the DMV test is easier)
