You should be able to get clp the day you show up, its not their job to study for you. Your weeks training is learning how to handle a truck before they send you out with a trainer to get more experience in handling a truck. I'm noy trying to be rude here, I just want to clear up your misconception on who is responsible for the permit training. That being said if you use this site and a study app on your phone you should have 0 problems passing the permit test on the first try.
CLP:
Commercial Learner's Permit
Before getting their CDL, commercial drivers will receive their commercial learner's permit (CLP) upon passing the written portion of the CDL exam. They will not have to retake the written exam to get their CDL.
I probably wasn't clear. Studying for the permit is all me. Getting my actual cdl training in 1 weeks for the actual cdl a license is what I'm stressing

hope that 1 week of training with them will be long enough for me to get my CDL before I go out on the road with my trainer.
Hey Sparky. You won't get your full CDL license before you go on the road with a trainer. You'll only have your permit at that point. You'll go on the road with a trainer for a few weeks then you'll return to take your driving, backing, and pre-trip inspection tests to get your full CDL license.
Pre-trip Inspection:
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.

Missouri really only requires 10 logged in hours of drive time and two wks before being able to test out. That's what I did and of course time on the training pad at Prime Inc.
If you are going to Wil-Trans you get your permit week 1, then go out for 10K (3-4 weeks) miles with a trainer, then go back to springfield to test for your CDL...then go back out for an additional 30K miles. (give or take miles).
Yea, this right here basically. Youre first week is in class for truck handling,then you will go out with a trainer for about 2 weeks before coming back to work on backing and then test for your cdl. By law you can not upgrade from permit to cdl for atleast 14 days so companies put you I, a truck with a trainer and use those 2 weeks to get youe feet wet. Main goal in that 2 weeks is to master your pre trip and be comfortable enough behind the wheel to pass the road test portion of cdl. Although the good trainers will also prep you for the backing portion as well. When you do go to test for your cdl make sure you get enough backing practice, be a squeeky wheel here if you have to. Dont just take the test knowing you're not ready as this is you're futire you're talking about.

Well it's official. I signed the papers, did all the required testing and video watching I needed to before I leave. Now all I need to do is make sure I study the CDL permit and hope that 1 week of training with them will be long enough for me to get my CDL before I go out on the road with my trainer.
And good thing is I'm only doing western 10, so I'm hoping I'll be home a lot more than if I were to do all 48.
