    I’m in SAN DIEGO, CA, looking to rent a Tractor/ Flatbed Trailer for my skills test. Anyone know where I can go? And no I’m exempt from EDLP

    Generally speaking, O/Os don't do that sort of thing. You might want to place an ad in your local Craigslist for someone willing to take that chance.

    Google rent truck & trailer for CDL test. A few cities have small companies that rent trucks for that purpose. No owner-op is going to do give his truck to a stranger.

    Wouldn't anyone require a valid CDL to rent a truck to someone?
    And wouldn't a permit holder need someone with a valid CDL to be in the truck while they are driving it?

    There’s a couple of places in most major towns that rent trucks for taking the test .
    I know a guy that has a small truck and trailer that slightly exceeds the 26,000 and he installed a six speed synchronized manual trans ,
    He is making pretty good money .
    Charges a bundle for the rental and doesn’t allow students to drive it by themselves . He goes with , and hips out for the examiner to ride with you

    not sure what town he’s in though .

    There used to be a guy in San Bernardino that rented a truck/trailer for the road test. He parked it near the DMV office advertising it. This may also happen at other DMV offices. Also, talk to a school. Some will rent out their equipment.
