    Pretrip depends on which one you get, full or partial. Backing, 13 is fail. Road test 31 is fail. On the road test, anything illegal is an auto fail. If its unsafe, they will probably fail you.

    To be a TNT phase trainer, you must have your own truck for atleast 2 months. PSD instructor you have to have had your CDL for atleast a year. For both there are classes you must complete

    Hi, okay i forgot about that federal law, so thank's for head's up, anyway my home state will always be Iowa and the prime lady said i did not have too give up my cdl and was going to put me thru a refresher course ,she said, now if i move to mo, yes , i have too give up my cdl for mo and make a place too live there, i dont plan too do that anytime soon, but if prime is good and i make good money, mayby i buy a house there, like i said if money is good for that, is the only reason i move there. Otherwise i keep my homestate for my cdl.

    LOL Ive never met a person who liked running the NE lol I hate the place with a passion. NYC was never meant for a rig..... And New Jersey the "Garden State" needs to be bulldozed n replanted.

    Forgot to mention..... The backing test... is timed. You get 15 minutes for EACH test. It shouldnt take you nearly that long to do it if you know what your doing.

    New Jersey the TOLL state. It would not be too bad if you did not have to pay a toll to get on after you get off 1 of the njtp exits. why can't they charge one fee for the whole thing?:biggrin_25511:

    So i do not have to surrender my cdl to go to prime school? So prime does this refresher course? How does this refresher thing work to keep the cdl you already have? Will you still have to transfer it at the final test?
