Am employed by Pepsi and have been for 18 years. I have my cdla and drove a dedicated route locally for 9 years, not over the road. I took a position in sales and Pepsi soon made a decision to stop paying for the cdla fees for people who were not in a cdla position so I cdla as inactive. Supposedly, all I had to do was take a dot physical and I can get it going again. Wanting to get back to driving.

I want to start my own box truck business
I was going to get my own authority, and try to rent a truck for a while. As far as customers, I haven't figured that out yet.

If they downgraded my cdla, wouldn't I have been given a new card? My card still says cdla. Every year I have to fill out a recertification for pepsi. But I thought my dmv said I could just get a physical and reinstate it whenever. But I could be wrong.

I want to start my own box truck business
Hello, I love this forum. I work for pepsi, have been for 18 years. I have a cdla.i drove for 9 years. My current position is in sales so I listed my cdla as inactive( I think). I am really thinking about trying to reactivate my cdla and start a box truck business. I have a lot of fears though. Being my cdla has not been used recently, can I just take my dot physical and get rolling?
Also, do you think it would be possible to be profitable to run local or regional and be home every night or at least a few nights a weak? I have been pouring over all of these you tube truckers and they make it seem so easy and make the money so good. I'm a hard worker. Not lazy, but I still have kids so I don't really want to be away too long.
Also, is there a way to see what kind of loads are available in my area without getting my ein and ask of those other numbers at first before I make the jump?
