CDL training thru prime

Will explain just about everything you want to know. Company website tends to be a little dated.

Cannot give a specific time frame, as situations & circumstances will vary, & also the individual.

In short, you will do a minumum of 75hrs driving time in PSD before testing out for your CDL.

After that, a minimum of 40,000mi in TNT (training) before upgrading to your own truck.

Flatbed has some additional securement training if you don't train with a flatbed, but I think that isn't too much more time. I run reefer, so not sure about flatbed. But, initial training is the same.

Could be anywhere from 2/3mos with no hitches. Lot of variables here.

You will have to start from beginning. Only way it would be faster would be if you actually hold a current CDL.

Read through thread linked here. It's pretty detailed. Then, if there are more question......ask away.



This is off top of my head. I'm just waiting on a load. Sure anything wrong will be corrected by someone.

Good luck on your research.

 

Don't think there is any difference in divisions as far as OTR goes. Want you out a minimum of 3wks at a time, preferably longer. There are of course, dedicated & regional routes.......but I think you have to get experience in first.
Again, I know little to nothing about flatbed. I'm on the reefer side of things.

Home time is gained at 1 day per week out, and taken at 3/4 days max at a time.

 

3 weeks with one day for every week out
