Going OTR with CDL permit. Legal?

was also told by the leo that the schools instructor had to be certified because they were training for commerce(money)

 

Really then why do trainers not need a certification to show new drivers what the village idiots at the schools cant. we would not be answering all these questions by new drivers if the school instructors had even 1/2 a clue on how to teach.

 

2 restriction on the permit, no night driving, and the licensed driver has to be awake. And yes you can run 48 states.

 

the mega carriers DO NOT let permit drivers leave the state or pull loads

just drive around town in the STUDENT DRIVER truck

 

Your absolutely right, but that has nothing to do with legal, some of us were not trained by mega carriers and schools. I drove with a permit, 48 states while my Dad taught me to drive.

 

Incorrect. Some companies that have their own school send recent grads with a trainer, and later the trainer and student go to the DMV in the students home state to test out. That is a FACT.

 

Back when I was hauling oilfield I would not take a swamper who did not have his learners. I taught more guys how to drive than I care to remember and they learned not only how to operate the truck but also everything else about driving, securing loads ect. I run into a few of them all these years later and the torch has been passed they are now teaching their swampers how to drive ect. Schools are ok but there is nothing like the hands on that you get on the road doing the very things you will be doing everyday when you get your licence and hit the road yourself.

 

Name some.

 

Millis for one. There are others but i'd have to research.

 

So are you saying they have graduates that don't have there cdl? Ummmmm ok
