DZ Licence.

Grassman · 10-22-2009, 07:55 PM

Looking to obtain my license.

Can I own and drive a truck with Air Brakes the GVWR is (31'000 lbs) I believe and de rate it so I can use my G but just get my "Z" endorsement.

I'm thinking of doing it that way drive it for a bit get used to it fly low and then go for the test. I duno.

The test centers are on strike and I imagine there will be a backlog of drivers that want to get tested.

I want to or need my license for winter as I'm looking at possibly picking up a International 4900 dump truck.

I don't want to go work for a bus company to get my license that way.

Dave.

Yea I have a friend that works for Canada Cartage with AZ I think. I still need to take a test for the Z even if I just write the test. Most of those Ryder and penske trucks have air don't they or are they juice?

If I show up in a truck with air they are going to make me do the test on that. on the MTO web site they tell you to bring a ruler measuring tape and hard hat. *LOL* I thought I was going to be tested on how to drive a truck and not frame a house.

Some don't have air. Call around. The biggest think during your test is your circle check. Air isn't that big of a deal. Just make sure you know the size of your brake chambers and stroke.

I have a fiend who has a GM 6500 dump but he has it G rated. So I go for my D but once I take the air course I need to go back for an on road test?

I'll have to find a test center out in the boonies to get my D prob going to be crazy with all the turbin guys going for there licenses.
