    I scheduled to take my road test next week and currently still onl have a permit. I emailed one company about a job they said to come in for a road test and see how it goes. Can I take a road test with them with a permit or do I have to wait to get the actual cdl. The company is a tri axle dump truck company.

    You need the CDL. The tester may not have a CDL, and thus you would be illegal to drive that truck.

    In the email did you let them know you only had a permit? You can take it as long as the person evaluating you has a CDL. Good luck!
     
    mje and MJ1657 Thank this.

    Something else to consider. Until you have that CDL in hand. Your basically unemployable to these companies, unless they need a yard person who won't have to drive the trucks.

    Don't let dude discourage you. You're not unemployable. Take the road test with the company. If they like the way you drive they very well could offer you a job and put you to work after you get your CDL! You're taking your test next week, not next year. Show em what you got, buddy!!
