I know most people say it is a good idea to get your CDL Permit in your home state before going to school. However, is there any benefit of taking it at school as far as cost goes?
Depends on the school and the contract. If you do it yourself you pay, but if the company will front it you still pay by your commitment to them for the next year or 2.
I always would suggest to get it yourself, find away. I encourage the private school route. This way you are in the driver seat to decide what company to go to instead of at the mercy of the few who school you.
On that note. I did hear Celedon has a good school. They are newer, with schooling anyway.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
If you get your permit before you leave for school, you can be learning other things while the non-permit people catch up to you.
Your school will be short enough already. Use the time you're paying for wisely.

I was actually wondering the same thing for my situation. Hopefully the CDL permit isn't as expensive as the license. I'm going to visit Roadmaster this week to tour the school and hopefully begin the admissions process, and if getting my CDL permit via the local DMV will benefit me when classes start, I'm all for it. I'm aiming for a January start date with the school by the way.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
The state agency that handles everything related to your driver's licences, including testing, issuance, transfers, and revocation.
I agree with Errol. I did the HRTP and got my permit before getting to school and it allowed me to focus on the driving and backing.
