If you wanted a CDL for over 26,000 lbs why did you come with a truck under ?

Babygirl, I'm sure you will need to test for an upgrade. Good luck

The truck was 26,000 the trailer was 13,500 so the combination was over 26,001 lbs and all the company had was duallys or frightliners that you see pulling horse trailers with the double cab, no semis and no straight shifts now every place I apply unless you can drive a straight shift which I can drive (personal truck 30 yrs) but no dot no. on it I can't drive a dot no. truck and to get a gov loan you have to have a job lined up after you get out of school and most local companies want you now not 6 to 8 weeks from now all I need is a truck and trailer drive then I'm done I know farmers that have them but will not pass a dot inspection so I can't use them
