    I'm seriously considering going with Prime and since I've never had a CDL, I'll need their training. Just so I'm clear, if I get my CDL permit here in Oklahoma before going to Springfield, MO for orientation/training, those first 75+ hours needed before I test for a CDL are unpaid, correct?

    I'm hoping someone that's gone through Prime's training might be able to answer if they were paid during the 75 hours of training while hauling live loads with a trainer before getting their CDL.

    You don't need a permit. It helps to show up with a one, but not that much. If you just study the book and use the practice tests on this website you'll breeze though it. Until you get your cdl prime cannot legally pay you for a job you aren't yet qualified for. They will advance(loan) you $200/wk until then.

    That permit is no good at prime, they don't except permits from another state anymore , so everyone that comes in will take the cdl test in Springfield an get a Missouri cdl permit , then u go to your home state to change it over... during your tnt training whenever u take hometime .

    It's the state of Missouri, not just Prime.

    Changed as of January.
