Got my permit in 2 days!!!!! I started school last week and got my permit on weds. I did pre-trip, without in cab, on Thursday and got it on first try!!! GO ME!!!! I have yet to drive, that will be next week.
You had to do a pre-trip inspection for your permit? I just passed my permit a few days ago but didn't have to do that.
A pre-trip inspection is a thorough inspection of the truck completed before driving for the first time each day.
Federal and state laws require that drivers inspect their vehicles. Federal and state inspectors also may inspect your vehicles. If they judge a vehicle to be unsafe, they will put it “out of service” until it is repaired.

No, I got my permit the day before. I did my pre trip at the school the following day, they showed us how to do it twice and I got it on my first attempt.

Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
