Companies That Train For Both CLP AND CDL
Topic 34670 | Page 1
Hi. You are over thinking the permit exam. Our FREE online prep course will get you to pass the written exam for the permit.
I used it.
High Road CDL Training Program
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
Most companies require you to have the permit before reporting. Prime is an exception.
As Kesrsey said the high road program here is great and will get you past the permit exam without much problem.
Put yourself in the companies shoes a minute. Your going to take the time and expense to background a canidate that has but forth no effort, except to fill out an application. The effort to pass the permit is very minimal compared to passing the cdl test itself.,
It shows the company you have a minimal understanding coming into their school and you care enough to put forth at least some effort toward the training.
These training companies are setup to process alot of folks in a fast pace enviroment. They are not bashful bouncing folks and many admit if they bring 75 students in they will be lucky to graduate at least half for one reason or another.
Roehl does a really good job keeping their class sizes down and they will do whatever they can to get you through successfully.
Let us know how it goes.

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.
It's been a while, but about five years ago I taught a four day Permit class at Swift before this students moved into the CDL class.
But isn't hard to do your own study. Kearsey is pointing you in the right direction. The score keeping in the High Road program will help you know when you are ready.

Hey Joshua,
That’s awesome that you’re getting into trucking! 🚛 Yeah, a lot of companies want you to have your Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) before starting training, but there are definitely some that help you with both the CLP and CDL from scratch.
Since KLLM didn’t work out, you might want to check out:
Prime Inc. – They walk you through the whole process, including CLP prep. CRST – They offer full training and cover costs if you qualify. Stevens Transport – Another solid option with full CDL training. Pam Transport – Helps with everything, including getting your CLP. Also, while you're getting into trucking, it wouldn’t hurt to learn a bit about Freight Broker Training too. It can help you understand the business side of the industry, which might come in handy down the road.
Hope this helps! Wishing you the best on your journey. Let us know how it goes! 🚛

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.
Prime does NOT give permit prep classes. Since about 2018, people have been required to come to Prime with their permits.
When I came in 2015, the written permit exam.was part of orientation, but even then, there were no classes or pointers on the written exam to get the permit.
Hi everyone,
Thanks for your replies.
With the High road CDL test prep thing Kearsey linked, if I used that but did NOT study the state or federal CDL manual, would I still have a safe bet of passing the CLP test? If i do still have a safe bet of passing it, maybe I can direct my time into just going through the questions that the High Road CDL test prep bank gives me(?)

The High Road program is the manual.
You read a bite-sized piece from the manual then you get questions. You check your test score on the High Road tests then as you work though the sections you will see your percent grade.
BTW the manual for every state is the same. There is no "federal" manual. And there is no shortcut. The questions are very much quotations from the state manual.
Isn't there one extra section from tx though? I can't specifically remember which, it's been a minute!

Hey everyone,
My name is Joshua.
I am more or less in the process of getting into the Get Your CDL program with Roehl Transport. However, they and who knows how many other companies require you to get a Commercial Learner's Permit before coming to the training.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any "we train you to get your CDL" companies (like roehl for instance) that train you both for CLP AND CDL so that you would only need to arrive with your current base driver's (4-wheeler) license. I know KLLM does exactly what I am referring to, but they couldn't or wouldn't accept me because of a recent car accident I had. But are there any others?
Thanks,
Joshua
