    I was asked by my recruiter to get my permit before orientation at Springfield MO. Does this effect how many days I will be in orientation (shorten it by a day or so)?

    You will most likely still be there the same amount of time just won't have to do the testing and dmv crap. A little more relaxing time for you. And a lot less stress. :biggrin_25520:

    You can use the one from your home state. I got mine in Mo, cause I live in the middle of nowhere.

    It makes a few days shorter. Plus you don't have that added stress. As you only have a few tries to pass or they send you home. We had a lot of people fail their first time and were freaking out. If you got your permit, you also get to start the simulator earlier.

    If you're smart you'll contact both the FL and MO DMV's and ask if a FL permit is effective in MO . I know permits in many states only allow operating a vehicle in the issuing state when accompanied by a driver with a CDL issued in that state . Most permits are not transferrable.
