What if I already have a Class A permit? Will I be able to use it for training?
It depends. Unfortunately, permits are non-transferable from state to state. If you hold a permit issued by the state in which you will attend school, you would not be required to retake the written exams. However, if your permit is from a state other than the state you will be training in, you will be required to take and obtain the permit in the state you will be training in.
