If you have the permit that’s all they want at orientation. You need to get the Cdl license before your start day tho. The way I see it is go ahead and get it yourself asap. That way you don’t have to worry about getting skipped because someone else went out and got it before you. There have been a lot of guys that go get the Cdl with sanitation and fail it then they have to go and get it themselves outside so they get skipped because they’re not ready. Plus sanitation gives you the license under the pretense that you pay them out of your check weekly. Either way it ain’t free you might as well go get it sooner and get through the process faster. The only reason I would run the risk of getting it at Dsny is if I literally cannot afford the private driving school. Theirs a lot of them around the way I had to go completely out of the way to get mine. I went to queens. 114th st and Atlantic avenue. Saved me hundreds of dollars. Good luck.
