 CDL A Permit requirements: https://www.scdmvonline.com/-/media/Files/CDL-Additional-Requirements.ashx

Applicants must be at least 18 years old. Applicants who are 18-21 years of age are only allowed to drive within state lines (intrastate).  Jobs for those who meet this criterion are very limited and are not readily available.

Registered students must obtain a CDL permit, obtained at any South Carolina DMV by passing the general knowledge test.  The permit is required by law for students to drive with instructors.  In addition, students must have passed the air brakes test and the combination vehicle test at the Department of Motor Vehicles.

The Department of Transportation long-form physical is required to take the course and is required by employers.  A pre-employment drug test is required before the start of the program, as mandated by FMCSA.  Random testing may be required during the length of the program.
