Cdl Permit Transfer

Thanks, Old School and agreed, Dave, that seems the most efficient route.

I'm thinking that studying involves holding a bunch of information fresh, and keeping it fresh means more review time overall vs. targeting an exam date, condensing study for that and then being done with it. This is admittedly griping on my part - but reality is what it is. Certainly not a deal-breaker kind of issue, hey, I know I'm writing to truckers!

Perhaps those reading who may have recent relevant info about this kind of permit reciprocity will comment here, or somewhere, so a little repository of this information might be created. Nothing replaces primary due diligence but I think a greater sense of how this piece is working or changing could be useful.

I’ve been reading/studying chunks of the PA manual and high road program since October. Every so often I take a practice test to see how its sinking in. I will spend a day or 2 reading the manual over and over again before the test so everything is fresh when I sit down

I would think the permit is related to your driver's license. The CDL is, as far as I know. That makes it seem that you get the permit and the CDL test in the state where your license is.

You can train anywhere you want but that would mean the test would have to be related to the state of your driver's license. Do the big companies have some arrangement?

The original question seemed to imply that Swift needed the permit to be in AZ. That makes it seem like they don't have an arrangement that crosses state lines.
