When people get their cdl, any class how do they bring their own vehicle for the driver exam?

Usually those people would have exposure to the big rigs either by repairing them or working for a moving company that owns many rigs.  I worked for such a company for many years before I thought about getting my cdl. Class 1.  First I had to take the air brakes course which meant night school to take it and then write the test at DMV and pass it. 

. Now I asked my boss at my job, saying I want to try for my cdl but need a vehicle.  Boss was agreeable and one of his drivers would drive it down to DMV and park it on the side of the road.  Then handed me the keys.   I don't remember driving the vehicle.  (I passed the car driving test, so no need to do that again.)  Basically I waited until my appointment and the examiner just had me do the pre inspection and tell him what I was looking for and how to adjust air brakes.  Get in the cab and fire it up and tell him what I was looking for  while the air pressure was building for the air brakes, etc, etc.  I did not drive anywhere.  Test was over.  I knew the stuff.  Class 1 is the same as Class A and it covers all vehicles below it. Car is Class 5  Taxi Class 4 Dump truck Class 3 Bus or long truck with no flex point is Class 2 , Semi trucks with a 5th wheel is Class 1 (and you MUST have) Air brake endorsement.   So only class not covered is Motorcycle. which is Class 6 and is a separate test and is endorsed on you license.  Numbers or letters, it is all the same schit.

Then you HAVE TO HAVE A COMPLETE PHYSICAL by your doctor.   I have Epilepsy (medically controlled) but a good enough reason to deny me the license by the state Government.  So, I am allowed to drive personal car and a motorcycle with air brakes and that is it.

I should have done the medical first and saved $ and months.

ah well.  The rules have not changed.  I also can't fly plane for the same health reasons.

The way it was 50 years ago when I had my permit is the same today. I had a licensed driver come with me to the license road test. My permit allowed that then as it does today.

Just like in practice driving , you get someone with an appropriate license to go with you.
