bronxbomber2 Posted May 28, 2009 Share #8 Posted May 28, 2009 u dont have to take the test over again. you are allowed to renew your permit 3 times. you still have time to renew the permit, you have within 60 days. if i were you i would do it online or go in and it should be quick since all your doing is renewing the permit. i just did mine last week its $20. Mine had expired on the 21st of april. i got called to go to 180 tommorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronxbomber2 Posted May 28, 2009 Share #9 Posted May 28, 2009 u know what u have up to 2 years from taking the test to renew a cdl permit. You can renew a learner permit only if you passed the written test during the previous two years. This requirement means that you cannot renew a learner permit that was issued more than two years ago. If you passed the written test more than two years ago, you must apply for a new learner permit and pass a new vision test and a new written test. If you are eligible to renew your learner permit, you can renew your the permit no more than 30 days before the permit expires, or no more than two years after the date you passed the written test for your original permit. You must renew by mail or at a DMV office. You cannot renew a learner permit on-line. this is taken from the DMV site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all info guys Hey buddy got this from the DMV website. maybe this can give some insight. 3) RENEW ONLINE You must meet several requirements to be able to enjoy the convenience of renewing your driver license online. To renew online: You must pass a vision test and have an eye care professional complete Form MV-619 (Eye Test Report). This form will remain valid for six or 12 months. You must not have moved. If your current address doesn't match the one the DMV has in its records, you can't renew online. The date that you renew must be within one year before or two years AFTER the expiration date of your license. Your mailing address must be within the United States, even if you are posted on a military base. The DMV must have a record of your Social Security number. You can't renew online if you're in jail, your license has been suspended or revoked, your license is conditional or restricted, you participate in the Ignition Interlock Device Program, or your license displays the words, "Valid Without Photo." There are even more restrictions, but if you're one of the lucky ones who meets all the qualifications, you may renew online. You will be asked for some information from Form MV-619, and you will provide credit card information to pay the renewal fee. The DMV will use the same photo and signature as on your previous license to issue you a new license, which will arrive by mail in at least four weeks. 5) RENEW IN PERSON If you don't meet the requirements to renew online or by mail, you'll need to renew in person. Bring along the renewal form that the DMV mailed you, or fill out Form MV-44. If you're renewing a non-driver photo ID card, you must also bring your Social Security card or proof that you are not eligible for one. Take the vision test, unless you provide Form MV-619. Pay the renewal fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's been a little over 3 months since your CDL Permit expired. I don't think you can renew it,sorry. This is what I got from the DMV website. "You can renew a learner permit. if you passed the written test in the last two years, AND your permit expired in the last 30 days." This is something that was on my mind last year when I got my CDL Permit,I didn't want to let it expire(I thought it was only good for 1 yr and then you had to do everything all over again). So after getting my permit in January/08,I registered at a driving school and by the end of May/08 got my CDL B. One less thing to be concerned with when the time comes for the pre-employment process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomotion69 Posted May 28, 2009 Share #14 Posted May 28, 2009 thats what i was told when i renewed mine in Yonkers. what list are you on? She got an 88 on the #8006 exam so her list number is very low(no higher than 300 probably). I am not sure if she is on one of the MaBstoa lists also.

Q53 Limited Posted May 29, 2009 Share #19 Posted May 29, 2009 i advise you to ask if they have a RTS. honestly it will be hard to find a school with this type of bus. remember you not going to drive a school bus and there is a big difference from the two models. dont waste your money on lesson packages which could cost you around 300 to 600 bucks and still cant guaranteed you pass. when i got my CDL permit i waited for to send me for training. i passed the training and set up a road test with DMV to convert my permit in to CDL. it only costed 40 bucks. which cover the road test. please dont think training to drive a bus is hard cause it's really not. trust me you will get the hang of it by the fourth day. best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
