Match the combination to the job
If a contractor or employer has specified a manual transmission, air brakes or a fifth wheel, bring that information when you request the truck.
Truck and trailer
Ask for written confirmation of the tractor, coupling and trailer assigned to your date.
Transmission
Tell us whether your job requires a manual or an automatic. Availability depends on the appointment.
Equipment time
If the controls or coupling are unfamiliar, ask about a separate pre-trip, backing or road session before the test.
Before you book
Have your permit and appointment notice handy. We’ll confirm the meeting point separately from the DPS test office.
Read scheduling and refund termsI already hold Class B. Can I ask about a Class A upgrade?
Yes. Tell us you hold Class B and describe the tractor-trailer you need to drive. We can review equipment and discuss the separate preparation steps that apply.
What if I have only pulled trailers with a pickup?
Describe your coupling, air-brake and backing experience when you call. That helps us determine whether a test rental or more preparation is the appropriate next step.
Is behind-the-wheel ELDT included with a truck rental?
Vehicle rental and ELDT are separate services. If you need range and road ELDT, ask us to check your eligibility and the written terms before you reserve.
