What is a Commercial Learner’s Permit?

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1626822396806{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]A Commercial Learners Permit (CLP) is a permit that only authorizes you to practice on public roads with a qualified CDL holder sitting next to you.

Once you have obtained it, you can begin truck driver training with experienced instructors. After you’ve completed your training, you can then take the necessary steps to acquire your CDL, which allows you to begin driving on your own.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1332″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css_animation=”fadeInRight”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
