You'll have to check with a company like Schneider, Swift, or Werner.

90 days is usually the limit, before you need a refresher. For all intents and purposes. You have no training.

Thats what I've gathered from reading a bazillion posts here, and a reason I just blew off the training schools anyways, Im going to owe someone money, and Im going to have to go work for one of the CDL mill companies anyways, so why not kill 2 birds with one stone?

I picked Swift, mostly cause my mom has been working for them for the past 8 monts and seems to like them and #2 I'd much rather have my mom training me than some pig I dont even know

But I really wanted to go with Scheider, but once again picked swift for the above. I'd pick Schneider based one what I've read, plus they got a tanker division

You will need a refresher course.
Your mom will not be able to train you most likely unless she is # 1 A trainer for the company #2 Most companies will not let a female train a male student. I do not know if they will make an exception for you just because you are her son.
