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.

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.
