Nj cdl permit test different then a Missouri cdl permit test.

Thanks pattyj. I just don't fail cause i was studying Nj manual. Im gonna read the Missouri manual over the next few days and on my way to Springfield.

 

My first year I only wanna run reefer. I wanna get the feel of handling and driving the truck, before I move on to something more complicated. I plan on getting all endorsements after passing the initial test I need to pass. Then when I switch everything to NJ I will take the rest.

 

I thought of getting my permit in nj before I go. But they want 125 for the cdl permit test and road and 90 for the DOT physical that Prime doesn't recognized anyway. So it was almost a waste of $200 that could be saved for the road instead of taking the 200/week loan and be in debt. Im confident enough that I will pass maybe not first shot. But I will pass. Thanks for everyones input

 

Yes I know the trucks are governed to 62 on the cruise and 59 on the pedal. If your truck is governed to 55mph, sounds like they need to learn how to save fuel better. Going that slow sounds like a get i would get that fuel bonus as company driver. Idc what other truckers have say. Its my life, its how I wanna go about getting my cdl. If the company was that bad, no one would drive for them. Every company has its good and bad. Its whats a best fit for me. I like the sound of making 0.37-0.42 cpm starting out, instead of making less then that and owing a bunch of money. I dont mind the Lightweight trucks either. What a 1 year contract for free a cdl. If I went private school and paid 3k just to have go out with trainer for most companies 4-6 weeks anyways. So when not use a company to earn my cdl on their dime not mine. We all know Prime is a starter company, I just think it fits me fine. So what Would you say then? My only two other options where Roehl and Central Refrigerated.

 

Im not about winning the race from shipper to receiver. I am here to learn, drive safe, handling the truck. Idc if it goes slow. Since i will be a rookie, im fine with the slower truck. Yes the mountains will suck, but it is what it is. Happy New Years to all.
