    I passed the CDL A permit test already.

    Need some work immediately so thinking about getting a CDL B while I wait for company training for CDL A to start.

    Can I schedule a road test for CDL B directly or do I have to take a written test for that again?

    I'm fine with doing the paperwork to get the cdl B license and then changing it again for the cdl A license after I pass the cdl A test. Just need to start working as soon as possible so hoping CDL B would help with ...

    I'm in New york city now btw but willing to travel within tri-state for the next month so if anyone have any need for a responsible person, let me know. Thanks y'all.

    CDL-A supersedes CDL-B, so you're good for both.
    Which part of NYC are you in. Maybe some companies hire from there and only require a Permit or even some non-cdl box truck jobs.
