I'm currently stationed in Florida but will be going back to Texas toward the end of May. Swift's training is only about 20 miles from my house, and TDI is about an hour away in Dallas. I completely forgot about the permit. I may have missed it or forgotten, but do I need to get it before I attend training? If the training is in Texas, that's easy. If I go with an out-of-state company like Maverick, that's a whole different story.

Don't hold me to it, but I do know the one here in Tennessee they help you study for your permit and everything. That's basically all you do the first week. That parts idiot proof. Lol. And then you spend the next two weeks doing pre trip, backing, and have plenty of road time. I would advise you too check into it though. Honestly, if you can go through the training you did in the military, you can go through there three week course. On top of that, you're not contracted with a certain company. You're a free range chicken free to come and go as you please. Which is really an advantage for you because you're G.I Bill will cover your tuition therefore you have no loan to pay. Once you pass all your tests, all you have to do is focus on your life and career.
