I have never heard that. I have been in Wisconsin several times with loads and never had any kind of permit....

You can't hall a loaded trailer in California with a CDL permit. I was restricted from taking a student into California because he only had a permit and not a CDL caused a lot of problems sense I ran a dedicated account out of California.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
I'm curious on how companies do training now.
So in the state of Wisconsin I was just told you can not haul any loaded trailers with a cdl permit?
It's the same in Florida. I wouldn't be surprised if it is the same in most places.

I'm not sure how other companies work but you are not hired at prime until you have the CDL.
