    When applying for these, how fast do they usually have you at the academy/training? I have to get my CDL permit tomorrow, medical is done. I have no tickets, no record, and great work history so I would assume I would be hired pretty fast.

    Just wanted to know how fast they get you to training, like could I be gone by next monday?

    Thanks!

    Most of the mega approved schools start new classes every 7 days. Should not take too long (more than a week or two) if you want to proceed that fast.

    But I guess it ultimately depends on the current market needs that can fluctuate some, and the school.

    You used the word "academy", does that mean Swift?

    The schools aren't paid though so not sure what OP is talking about. Also, you don't need to have your medical card or learner's permit going into most of them, especially the mega schools.
