    It depends on the state. I was under the impression most do because of the states I've had CDL's in. You posted in that other thread EDBear and was going to post that response. But I read the CA manual and CA DMV website and could find nothing on prerequisites. Maybe a phone call to the CA DMV will clear that up, 1-800-777-0133. You won't find many other drivers in your situation.

    I appreciate all the concern and all the support I spoke to the recruiter she said I'm good to go, but my mom is also concerned so to honor her I will just get the class A first.

    It must depend on individual companies, then. The company I've applied to wants you to have had a license for at least a year prior.
