Manual and automatic equipment · driver guide

What should I ask an oilfield fleet before choosing a manual or automatic truck?

Ask which tractor and trailer the job uses, its transmission, and whether you haul water, sand, pipe or equipment. Confirm your intended credentials and ask for a matching test vehicle before arranging travel from West Texas.

Separate your ELDT record from your test-truck reservation

For an applicable Class A or B path, online theory and in-person range and road activity have different purposes. Match the curriculum to your license goal and confirm the provider’s completion record. Vehicle rental covers the truck or bus reserved for the test. Ask separately about eligibility for the complimentary behind-the-wheel activity.

Which Texas office should I visit?

Start with the licensing agency for the permit or endorsement. A general driver license office may have a different address from your assigned skills-test site. Use the exact location on your appointment when requesting a test truck.
