Then your going to be way ahead of every one.... They will give you the answers to the questions to help study for the permit but if you do the high road training you will be fine.... Once you get to Utah you stay in a hotel till you get on a truck... On your first day in Utah you go to the dmv for your permit then the rest of the week you practice driving and backing then the following Monday you test for your cdl... So it's a week of class then a week of driving in Utah then two days for the tests which is pre trip 3 backings and then road test... Backing is straight line off set and parallel... If you have any questions just ask
