CDL Permit Resources

A CDL Class B Permit is one requirement before beginning training with Red Hook on the Road. Interested applicants should take CDL Permit tests and obtain endorsements for Passenger, Air Brakes, and General Knowledge. If you are accepted into the program, we will then ask you to obtain a School Bus endorsement before training. You are welcome to try to obtain all endorsements up front.
