    Ah, you had it man. Just had to get in the 6mos halfsies for measure.

    Christ.....you leave & you're still some of the best help on our threads available.

    Love it, dude! Your a good man. Need more out here like you. Will always be glad we had chance to meet up.

    Thanks man, it was good meeting up with you as well. We'll cross paths again so I'm sure.

    I may have left, but prime will always be home to be and I'll keep helping drivers out as much as I can.

    One of only two states student (now finally official co-driver for a while) hasn't had opportunity to see is WA.

    Look for us to be heading that way soon. Maybe catch you that away if timing is right.

    Could possibly see us in a new Star, if I ever make up my mind here shortly!

    I recently just got accepted into the Prime program! So excited/nervous a lot of what ifs. The recruiter told me not to waste my time obtaining a CDL permit just because Missouri does not recognize NC permits... Have not heard other drivers saying this. Has anyone heard of this? I really want to take every advantadge I can to get ahead!
     
    PChase Thanks this.

    Study up... If you can pass the practice tests on cristcdl.com (I think that's the website) you'll be ok. Missouri CdL test questions are pretty close.

    I'm here now going into second week, and what PChase said is right,what happens is you take your physical and if you pass that, you get a copy of that and a letter of residence for Mo. Because you end up with a Mo CDL that you will need to change back to u your home state first chance you get

    Hutch1100,

    Practice tests on this site are pretty good, too.

    Were good enough to get me through all VA endorsements.

    Sure they will likely be good enough to bone you up for MO.

    Can't be that much difference, as all basic material.

    Best of luck to you!

    :biggrin_25525:

    Edit: Do not understand why you cannot drive under an out of state permit, unless MO has changed things recently. Yes, once you pass your test & get your full MO CDL, you will have to transfer it back to your home state (unless you are in one of the idiot states (I.e. IL) that make you actually test there).

    If you come out with permits & endorsements in hand (sans Haz Mat), will make your orientation experience so much easier. I have not heard of any changes like this, nor of MO not accepting others. Only the few OTHER states that actually make you test back in those states for full license.

    The information you recieved from recruiter is correct. This is now, in fact, the case.

    I just verified this with the head of orientation, the "main man".

    Glad I now know this, learn something new everyday.

    Apparently, this all changed as of January 1st of this year.
