A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
Yap, Steven is right - use our High Road Training Program. That's exactly what we built it for - passing the CDL exam and preparing for the start of your official CDL training. It has the actual CDL manual built right into it. You won't need to study anything else. That program will have you ready.
The permit doesn't last very long but that varies from state to state. You'll have to check with your state to see how long it's good for but I would recommend getting it just a week or so before heading out for school.

I have been looking at Knight Transportations Squire training program and very interested in it. They do require you to get your permit first. And I assume I also need a dot physical to get the permit from what I read. What I want to know is what is the best way to study to ensure I pass that test the first time. I realize at 58 testing is something I have not had to preasure myself to do in many years. I just want to know how to study and what to study and are all the test in all states pretty much the same for a CDL permit? And how long are CDL Permits good for, incase I get it and then dont end up starting a training program till later is why I ask how long they are good for.
thank you Ron
