If you are applying for a CDL in Austin, decide what you intend to drive before you book a DPS appointment. A contractor moving a trailer on I‑35 and a delivery driver in a straight truck may need different test vehicles. Have the truck and trailer weight ratings, your permit class and your transmission preference handy when you call about practice or a test rental.
Test vehicles for construction trucks
A dump truck on its own and a dump truck towing an equipment trailer may lead to different CDL decisions. Read both ratings to us before choosing a straight truck or tractor-trailer for the test.
