Question 1

What exactly is a CDL permit?

Accepted Answer

You must already have a regular driver’s license to be eligible for a CDL permit. A CDL permit allows you to practice driving with a licensed commercial driver. You cannot drive without a permit. Like a regular permit, a CDL permit allows you to operate a vehicle under certain conditions and with certain restrictions. The main difference is that a CDL permit allows you to operate commercial vehicles, such as buses, trucks, and tractor-trailers. With a CDL permit, you can start practicing your driving skills so that you’ll be ready to get your full license when the time comes.

Question 2

How do I get a CDL permit?

Accepted Answer

You must pass a written exam to get your permit. The written exam allows you to get a learner’s permit, which allows you to sign up for our course at one of New York’s certified driving schools like the Ferrari Driving School. While you can study the course material on your own, we recommend taking our course because it will give you the hands-on experience you need to pass the road test and get your full license.

Another reason to take our course is that you will eventually have to enroll in a certified driving school to meet the new EDLT requirements set by the Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
