Travel & scheduling

Questions before you book.

What if the rental truck feels different from the one I know?

Ask which controls and transmission the rental has and whether you can reserve familiarization time in that equipment before test day.

Where are in-person services available?

Get Your CDL Quick schedules in-person vehicle services in Royse City. If you have a DPS appointment near Lubbock, confirm the rental location and availability with the office before you travel.

What should I ask for in my quote?

Ask for each selected service, the test-vehicle rental, applicable fuel and other charges, retest terms and the written price total. Confirm which services qualify for complimentary ELDT behind-the-wheel and what proficiency you must demonstrate.

From a Lubbock permit application to test day

1. Arrange your commercial learner permit

Use the Texas DPS application checklist to gather identification and applicable medical documentation. Book the appropriate knowledge exams. For a first CDL, allow at least 14 days between CLP issuance and the skills test.

2. Check your ELDT completion

Choose the theory course for your class or endorsement. For skills-test routes that require ELDT, confirm that your listed providers have submitted the applicable theory and behind-the-wheel completion records using the information on your license.

3. Match your appointment and vehicle

Confirm DPS application payment with the driver license office. Save the test notice and the rental confirmation separately. Prepare for the vehicle inspection, basic vehicle control and road portions in a representative vehicle.
