    I’m a PSD at Prime Inc
    Seems pretty good training, was wondering how long does it normally takes training on the pad or with a trainer to pass your CDL test?

    much of that has to depend on you. how quick are you to pick up and learn?

    everyone has thier own learning curve.

    i cannot honestly say that there is an average time.

    Now now. He is literal. it is YOU that decides how long.

    Just like a wife that hit the super classy mall with 5000 dollars to spend. It will take a while.

    Just horsing around. Check with the people that are training. They are the experts. They will tell you averages, and you go from there. Good luck, and remember, it seems like it takes forever, then all of a sudden, you get you first solo load and say OMG, that training wasn't long enough! We all went through it don't worry.
