There are three parts to the test, two of which include actual driving.The first part...written, is pretty easy. Most people can skim thru that and get their permit fairly easily. A little studying and you're set.But that's the easiest part.You will be required to do a pretrip inspection for the tester,You will be required to demonstrate yard skills such as backing, docking, and more.You will then...and if you've passed the first two, be required to do a road test.All this needs to be done with a tractor and trailer, so it's not something you'll run down to budget and rent for a day.Once you past the tests and get your license, you will pick a company that will train you to drive. Virtually all companies require the 160 rooms of classroom/driving experience to hire you, just for insurance purposes.So if you're serious about getting into this, figure on school.[/QUOTE]
