An O restriction prohibits you from driving a tractor trailer with a fifth wheel connection, but allows all other types of combination vehicles such as gooseneck or pintle hook, etc. The truck is the same as Class B and the trailer is a 18 foot 12,000 pound ball hitch trailer. An automatic truck is also available for those wishing to to get a class A with an E restriction in addition to the O restriction. The E restriction limits the driver to an automatic transmission only.
This class is a 5-day course which includes training for the pre-trip inspection, skills test and road test. The truck and trailer will be used at the end of the course to take your test.

In the event of a failure, the cost for retraining plus truck rental is $700 per day minus $100 per test successfully completed plus $50 fuel surcharge.
