This is in regard to the written test for my permit (CLP). Nothing else.
Do I need to study these sections for the written test?:
Pretrip inspection (permit) Driving exam (permit) Logbook rules (job duties) Weight distribution (job duties) Cargo securement (flatbed)
I understand I need to know it all but I am only interested in studying for my clp and endorsements as i am limited on time. Thanks.
Logbook:
A written or electronic record of a driver's duty status which must be maintained at all times. The driver records the amount of time spent driving, on-duty not driving, in the sleeper berth, or off duty. The enforcement of the Hours Of Service Rules (HOS) are based upon the entries put in a driver's logbook.
CLP:
Commercial Learner's Permit
Before getting their CDL, commercial drivers will receive their commercial learner's permit (CLP) upon passing the written portion of the CDL exam. They will not have to retake the written exam to get their CDL.
