Those tests are easy with the general knowledge being the hadrest only because it's the most reading material therefore making it more to remember but if I were you I'd go to the DMV ASAP as in today and take the tests that way if you fail any of the test you retake them immediately, getting that CDL ahead of time could make a huge difference in your seniority meaning a difference in your check believe it or not

I wonder how many times this question has been asked lol
Last hire was number 4052, they have 2 years (this year and next) left of eligibility for the the exam. They usually hire 3-450 guys a year if they have hiring rounds. But there is no rule, could have 0 could have 100 , 200 etc. Should take about 3.5 list numbers for every 1 hire. Do the math. If they hire both years you have a decent shot of being hired next year (2015) good luxk

You might have a shot. Last class went 5 to 1 on list numbers but can't tell if that'll continue. The next class will be telling

2009. Not one single person was hired all year. They followed that up by hiring only one class in December of 2010 and even that class almost didn't happen.

If I get a permit for general knowledge, air brakes and tankers is that good enough for when I get called to take the 1 week cdl training

Union rep said there's talk of spring classes. But he also said he wouldn't believe it until it actually happens..
