Describe the straight truck you expect to drive. Ask about the Freightliner M2-106 box truck and whether its equipment matches your intended test.
Ask about this vehicle →Passenger bus
Passenger
Ask which passenger bus is available and tell the office its intended use. Confirm the class and passenger endorsement on your permit before arranging bus time.
Ask about this vehicle →School bus endorsement

Ask about this vehicle →Match your rental to the DPS appointment
If you are getting a CDL for an Odessa oilfield or equipment-hauling job, describe the truck you expect to operate when you call. A straight truck carrying tools and a tractor pulling a trailer can call for different test vehicles. We can discuss air brakes, transmission type, backing practice and availability for your DPS appointment.
Ask for the transmission, air brake configuration, fuel charge and retest terms in writing. For a passenger or school bus, give the seating capacity and endorsements you intend to test for.
