Default A few questions.

I'm just wondering how this works.

Quoting from the Illinois CDL Manual
Quote:
The fee for a CDL is $60. The fee for a CDL permit is $50. This includes $10 for
the basic driver’s license, $24 for the CDL, $6 to cover the cost of the national
commercial driver’s license information system, and $20 for the Motor Carrier
Safety Inspection Fund. A $5 fee is assessed for CDL holders who wish to
change classifications or endorsements.
So is the total $60 or will it be $110($50 for permit and $60 license)

I'm self-studying for my CDL and have a O/O willing to train me and let me drive for him. I have been averaging 90% on the online practice tests.

Will I be okay with General Knowledge, Combos, and Air Brakes as my only endorsements? I know the more I have the more potential there is for jobs.

I'm 20 right now so if I get my CDL now I could get some local(in-state) runs from him and get some experience, after I turn 21 in about 8 months I'd be set for some OTR action. Sound like a good plan?
