Is there a service that provides the rider needed to go take license exams?

I live in NY and need to take the R endorsement driving exam. Problem is that I don’t know anyone with it or a CDL to go with me to the exam. Long shot but is there any service who you can pay to ride along? Trying to get legal in NY.

R endorsement for NY

NY is a big state. Where are you and where would you need to take the road test? I am in Bohemia so maybe I could help in Hauppauge. You could also try any of the truck/bus/school bus driving schools. May be helpful for a practice class.

Sorry I can't be of help. Maybe a school bus driver? Do you need help with the process?

I'm in Kalifornia and when I tested for the Non-Comm Class A (large rig), I called the DMV and asked them this exact question.

The response was: "At the DMV we are not 'enforcement' officers, but rather test officers...". They did not pay attention to how you got there.

Call them and ask! It's like Chicken or Egg!

Find a Florida driver. Since our license is good anywhere we can do it. Just kind of laughing out loud because I had the same problem in Calif. Couldn't even get them to figure out what written test/s to give me for a non commercial class B.

One was needed for RV's over 40 feet. But you could drive a shorter one and tow up to 65 feet. At least I think I remember that.


And no one in the DMV system could definitively tell me how they measure an RV. Don't get me started on bumpers, mirrors and such. I ultimately was told to write to the big honchos in Sacramento. At that point I was leaving Ca so just got my license in Fl and can go back to Ca now with this license.

So check with a local RV repair/sales facility. They often have folks that transport RV's for shows etc.
