    how much study time do they give you for the CDL PERMIT while in school at Henderson,oh and is there anything in the Illinois study guide that is just for that state only or is it similar to other states?

    You'll have a week, maybe a week and a half to study. Not sure if it's similar to other states. Just get a jump on taking those practice quizzes before you get here.
     
    Ga Dawg141 Thanks this.

    Good job. Just keep doing them over and over until you get 100's on all of them then you'll be set for the written part at the DMV.

    I am loving it so far, i finally made it home for some much needed time off. I leave out again Tuesday morning after i pick up my trainee. Hopefully dispatch will work with us plenty of miles and have freight lined up instead of sitting and waiting ( i know that won't happen but i can wish so let's not get anyone's panties in a bunch) we have had just a few short hauls so far but the first few loads where just to get me close enough to home to get home time. I honestly have nothing bad to say about henderson so far, I haven't found any time I've been lied to about anything. As a matter of fact i was offered a much much better rate per mile for becoming a trainer after i returned back with my trainer. All in all I'm loving it here and i will recommend the school and company to anyone.

    So how is training like at Henderson? How much time does each student get per instructor? Is the training at Henderson better then at Swift or at Prime Inc? Does Henderson trucks have APU on them?
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    The one on one time depends on how well your getting the hang of things the instructors are pretty good at figuring out who needs more help and they try to do what they can. As far as the training being better than other companies I have to say yes but I am kinda partial to Henderson. The new trucks they are getting in do have apu's along with refrigerators and heated and cooled seats and a bunch of other things.
