Congratulations Kenneth!
I think you've got this - 98% is smoking that thing!
Congratulations! I passed my Texas Learner Permit Test today as well.
What tests do you need to pass in order to get your CDL A permit in Ohio?
In Texas, I needed to pass only the Combination Vehicle Test and the Texas Special Requirement Test (Manual Section 14) to get the Permit.
The General Knowledge Test, the Pre-Trip Test, and the Air Brake Test are part of the actual CDL License Test. I got 95% on the Combination Vehicle Test and 85% on the Special Requirements Test.
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.
Combination Vehicle:
A vehicle with two separate parts - the power unit (tractor) and the trailer. Tractor-trailers are considered combination vehicles.

Surprisingly OH its much more simple it seems in this regard at least. Only had to take General Knowledge, Air Brakes, and Combo Vehicle as well as HazMat so I could get the background checks and whatnot going for that. No other special requirements at this time thankfully. I think I was in and out the door within about 1/2 hour tops really.

Going to be taking my permit test next week at Prime orientation. Started cramming Monday of this week, and already have a firm grasp of the knowledge needed to pass the test. A full week of studying and reading Brett's book and diving into the forums and I've never been more ready to start a career. Thanks to anyone that makes this site as great as it is.
Glad I was able to help! You'll do just fine, especially with that kind of score. If you have any questions about Prime give me a shout.

You can't escape us forever. We will get you.
In Texas, the Pre-Trip Exam is a written exam which means there is no practical walk-around pre-trip inspection required, with the exception of the Air Brake Test. Air Brake Test, Driving Test, and the Backing Tests are all one test. During the road test, I have to perform all parts of the test. If I loose points in backing, then I lose points from the entire road test. I know that in Utah, every test is separate. Pre-Trip, Backing, and Driving Tests are three different tests. If you fail one, you don't fail the other. If you fail backing, but pass driving you just do the backing again.
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.
OOS:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
