I’m in CDL school now and I highly recommend to anyone if possible obtain your CDL permit with as many endorsements as possible prior to going to school ( I’m not sure if this is alright with company sponsored out of state schools). The first step I took was to get my DOT physical to see if I was even able to drive. Once I obtained that I then started looking at schools which I knew I was going to pay out of pocket for. Once I decided on a school and got myself enrolled I started studying the CDL practice tests both online and with my Android phone as well as reading/studying the Ohio CDL book that I picked up at the local BMV. A couple weeks before my school started I went to the BMV and took all six tests for the state of Ohio and passed them. I brought my DOT card with me so they could enter that into the system when the processed my permit (not needed but was told by another driver that it is a good idea). When I finally got to school having my permit did two things for me. I knew the information so I was a bit ahead of the process and by the instructor teaching the same information that I learned I felt more and more comfortable with what I just studied and tested on. By no means did I slack off and think I knew it all. I saw individuals struggling with learning and remembering all the test questions and some of them fell behind. One thing to note is that CDL School is a lot faster pace than studying the questions on your own prior. So, go get it! and Good luck!

Thank you..

Hey folks, I’m new here and I’m getting ready to start CDL school here in southern Ohio. I have obtained my DOT medical card and passed all the six tests and have my CDL permit.

I have done a ton of research on companies and created a document with questions I will ask recruiters when I call them.

My question is do I start calling and talking with the company recruiters now, or wait until I have passed my driving tests and have my CDL-A with endorsements in hand?
