Who do I ask to train me in their class b vehicle so I can take my road test in it?
Do you think anyone would go for that and how much do you think it would cost?
Also can you add tank and hazmat to your class b permit or do you have to wait until it's a license?
Also if I ask someone to let me train in their class b vehicle and they say yes which companies only have automatic vehicles to train and road test in?
Thanks :)

If you can convince a prospective employer that you'll be loyal and productive they will bend over backwards to train you for a CDL
Also can you add tank and hazmat to your class b permit or do you have to wait until it's a license? You can add any endorsement at any time. One caveat, if you later decide to get a class A you'll have to take another road test and if you ever add the passenger or school bus endorsement you will have to take yet another road test.
My advice, get every endorsement you can from the get go except perhaps HazMat, costs a fortune now days so don't get it unless you need it.
Also if I ask someone to let me train in their class b vehicle and they say yes which companies only have automatic vehicles to train and road test in?
Don't have the slightest clue but good luck, other than municipalities most places will not have class A or B vehicles with automatic transmissions.

Used to be that you could get a "Chauffeur's License".
Same as a Class B, but easier to get because there was no test to pass.
Class B is pretty easy to get IIRC. We used to say "B for Bus Driver", meaning there really wasn't much to study for.
Class A with airbrake endorsement, Class A with "X" rating, those can involve some study and practice.
For the Class B, you could rent a big UHaul truck for a couple of days, if you just need to get the feel of driving and PARKING a large vehicle.
Back when I worked for them, "GH" was the largest. Whatever it is now, that's what you want to get.
Just remember to always do your walk around and never be afraid to get out and check how the back of the vehicle is situated, when parking and/or maneuvering in tight places.

Well, I've just died for it.
1. Some perspective employer. You also need to take a WRITTEN test. You can get a handbook from your local DMV, as rules and regulations regarding commercial drivers licenses are FEDERAL.
2. Who knows.
3. Endorsements require additional written tests. Hazmat includes a variety of hazardous materials, liquids, oxygen, etc. The regulations and requirements also changed after 9/11. I never had such an endorsement, but I believe you'll have a lot to study. Same with tankers. You also have to demonstrate knowledge how to operate a vehicle transporting such items, loading these materials, what to do in emergencies, etc.
4.......... School buses fall into "Class B" territory and many of those are auto transmission. There may be others, but you'll really have to look for a place that is hiring and willing to train. Unless you KNOW an individual who owns their own truck. Then again, I think you need to provide proof that you were trained by a licensed trainer, not just by some random dude who owns his own commercial vehicle.
Get trained by a proper driving school, other wise you'll be endangering the lives of ever other driver around you.
