I just insured my Sport Chassis here in Fort Worth under a personal policy with Stat  e Farm.  Then I had them quote everything I own and they ended up with all my business.  Then the rate on the Sport Chassis went down.  Very nice people to work with.  Id be happy to share contact info if anyone is interested.

I have an F 350 SRW 2017 that has never failed me.  I am wirhin 3 to 5 hundred pounds over or above at weigh on the truck.  18,000 lb trailer,  2800 lb on the hitch.  I am thinking an MRI would be a relief.  Tons of mountain driving.  Six to eight months in the rig a year.  Any ideas

No physical exam required

That's the same trailer I took my test with.  That's why I drug it up to Vernon for the driving test.  A touch less intense driving around Vernon.

I was required to take the chapter 6 test for the class A, and was shown  the memo dated 5/20/18 that informed the offices of the new directive.  I studied 3 hours, learned some new things, and got 20 out of 20 correct.  And I have nowhere near a photographic memory.

This is true.  I have a 5th wheel and was required to take the chapter 6 test.  There is more than air brakes in chapter 6, and the more knowledge the better I guess.  With some of the driving I've seen lately with coaches and big 5th wheels, I've become an advocate of the RV CDL.  

The system works exactly as you describe.  I was given a slip of paper after my 2nd test with the link and instructions.  After booking my original drive test, I did the following:

Booked my original appointment 

Cancelled my original appointment 

Rescheduled my appointment

Continually checked for better appointments and changed when available

Searched other offices for better appointments

Cancelled appointment and rescheduled at another office for more optimal time.

The system works amazingly well, and changes as soon as someone else cancels their appointment.  I got an appointment for July 5 on July 3 at 8pm that wasn't available when I checked 30 minutes earlier.

Hope that helps

I used 2 or 3 sites, and the best one had 100 question tests.  The questions were identical.  Unfortunately, I won't have access to that computer for a few days.  I will update ASAP.  A Google search of 100 question TX combination test might show some results.  On another note, I took my driving test in Vernon last week.  It was a very positive experience, and I highly recommend it if convenient.  Sharon is the only employee in the office and does everything, and does it well.

The test was twenty questions and I believe you have the same 8 hours allowed.  The minimum score is 70%.  The online study guide makes it a breeze.  I got a 100 in less than 10 minutes.

I went to Bowie yesterday to take the written test, and was informed that Texas DPS issued a directive last week adding the Combination test for the Class A exempt.  Took the General Knowledge (chapter 14) yesterday, and the Combination (chapter 6) test today.  Both pretty easy with the online practice tests.  Scheduled for the driving test in Bowie the first week of June.  Other than the inconvenience, I am really seeing the value of the additional licensing.
