we can definitely help you out so I want
you to give us a call 9 0 8 5 2 5 3 6 8
or 9 or click on the link below this
video fill out the form and one of our
team members will be giving you a call
so what was that that's right
restrictions on your license so we
recently had somebody to give us a call
and said hey we I have a class a license
but I have a restriction right-hand
drive a trailer and we were like well
that's kind of silly how does that even
work so after doing some research what
we found that is that there is an actual
restriction on your license where if you
take the road test with a combination
vehicle which in most cases means like a
pickup truck or like a dump truck and
maybe a tag-along trailer something that
looks like this and usually if you take
that that is considered a Class A right
because you have a combination vehicle
that tractor itself and the trailer
weighs more than 26,000 and the trailer
is gonna weigh more than 10,000 but the
connection here is done by a pintle hook
instead of a fifth wheel so this right
here is what a pintle hook looks like so
if you take the test and a vehicle that
is considered a Class A but you take it
with a pintle hook that means you're
gonna have what they call a fifth wheel
restriction which means it will not
allow you to drive tractor trailers even
though you have a CDL Class A license
for those people who don't know what a
fifth wheel is it's this piece right
over here
it's what actually connects the tractor
to the trailer when it comes to getting
yourself a CDL Class A so unless you are
going to be driving only dump trucks and
you know for the rest of your life they
no possible reason where you've gonna be
driving tractor trailer then it's okay
to take the test and fit the hook but if
you're like me and I don't know what I'm
gonna be doing tomorrow little
five to ten years from now why restrict
yourself doing something like that so if
you have yourself a pintle hook
restriction on your actual CDL license
the only way to remove that is you're
gonna have to go to DMV get yourself
another permit you don't have to take
any written test but you're gonna have
to take the whole go test all over again
just to remove it so now just because
you want to remove one simple thing on
four license you're gonna have to go
through this painful two and a half hour
long road test process all over again
and that's something that I would not
recommend do it so another restriction
that we see all the time is people come
in here with an automatic restriction
under license now I'm not sure if you're
aware or not but if you take the test
and an automatic vehicle that means you
will have a restriction where you cannot
drive a manual transmission vehicle when
it comes to CDL itself right so if you
took the test in an automatic which
happens a lot and you want to come back
and remove that restriction off of the
license what you're gonna have to do is
you're gonna have to go back to DMV get
yourself another permit again you don't
have to take any written test but the
beauty of the beauty of it is you just
have to take the road portion of the
road test itself so it's not like you
have to go through the whole process all
over again
you're gonna have to take the actual
Road portion itself alright so those are
the main two restrictions that we want
to avoid when you are thinking about
getting a CDL license and again if this
is something that you are and in
doing I want you to give us a call 9 0 8

whole process so you don't have any
silly restrictions that you don't even
know about that's gonna restrict you
making money right so if you're thinking
about getting a CDL again give us a call
