Hi Courtney-

What you'll have to do is go to the DOT/DMW and take the 3 "written" test to get your permit. The test are General Knowledge, Air Brakes, and Combination. Once you pass all of them with an 80% or higher you can pay for your permit. There's usually no cost for the test but the permit is around 12 bucks. Good Luck!!

DOT:

Department Of Transportation

A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.

State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.

Dm:

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
