    When you finish school you road test with DMV, get your CDL, then go with your mentor.

    Make sure you get your chauffeurs added to your CDL

    Where do you road test? will it be at the school, or back in your state?

    Depending on the school you attend they will have something set up where they either come to the school and test you or they will have a place to go and have you take the test, but when you leave school 9 times out 10 you will have a CDL...

    Millington you will go to your home state. Other schools the local DMV, DPS or whatever they call it in that state.

    That's funny! (Assuming that was your intent... otherwise...)

    My first commercial license in NJ in 1971 was a chauffers license. The boss took a copy of my license and a brown bag full of cash to see some people in Jersey City and came back with my new license (unlaminated paper, no photo or fingerprint) and a blank business card with a name and phone number written on it. I was instructed to show the card to any cop, including NJ State Police, that pulled me over as well as to anyone attempting to hijack my truck. I used it twice after being boxed in during attempted hijacks and a dozen times after being pulled over by the police. The response every time was, "Have a nice day sir." I wish I still had that card...
