Yes. Below is for permit and non permit holders. CDL holders coming to Prime does something totally different. I heard they had to do 60,00 combined miles with a trainer. But Im not sure about that.
-5 to 7 days you spend in Sprinfield.
-100 hours with an instructor. Instructor must be awake the whole time the student is driving.
-Return to Sprinfield and take your cdl test.
-Go back on the road with a trainer in the tnt phase and complete 30,000 miles combined.You drive while the other sleeps,and vice versa. You wake him or her up if you need help.
-Return back to Springfield and do the upgrade which will be done on the simulator.
-Your going solo,get the keys to your on truck,or you can choose to go lease at this point.

This has been a roller coaster with my wife. I, too, am keeping notes in my blog for newbies later on to see what they may be dealing with @ home and otherwise.

Best wishes. See ya on the highway! *tips hat*
