Will dx of Anxiety disqualify me from driving?
Hey lucio, You shouldn't have any problems from what I can tell by what you said. What med are you on? Hell a lot of us have anxiety diagnosis and if you didn't before you jump into this job, you will after! I take Bupropion in the morn and busiprone at night before sleep.

Hazmat is currently good for 4 years - the tests for tanker, HM and Air Brakes is the same for all CDL classes - though I can't figure out why you would want/need a tanker for a Class B CDL.
All of the endorsement and general knowledge tests are the same - the only difference is what you "practical test" on - yard skills, pre-trip & road test. I have a Passenger Endorsement on my Class A. I took the test when I got my permit - and when I completed my skills test they left it on - even though "technically", I should have done at least a pre-trip and road test in a bus to keep it.
Don't ask - don't tell...

Are we being reasonable about pay for 1st year driving?
And if he's looking at a dollar general account you should kiss the EMT $ away he's going to be to tired to respond to any calls, just hope he has the strength for you. Look into the tags for DG at the top on this page to get an idea. Brett worked those routes.

Problems With My Company Truck
Apparently Terry, we are all rookies on here and don't know are ass from our steering wheel. I have my license and drive a truck and I would assume that the "Rookie" and or in your case "Experienced tag under your name would mean that you do, Would that mean that we have experience and maybe some bit of knowledge? of course I'm asking this against a post with a tag stating "considering". I understand the question of being," the second company with truck problems?" but then to attack the lot of us "Rookies" for giving our opinion on the subject. EXCUSE ME! I ran my own construction company for 20yrs and have seen all types of problems also, so what?

Overweight! ... How do you handle it?
Hey AJ, great to hear your feeling better. Heavy C is correct and I know you said that you've been delivering in NH also (Where?) Dot is just driving around a lot in there rigs, portable scales and all. Saw two yesterday in the Claremont area. They know that the cold weather alone tends to make for speedier pre-trips, add onto that some frozen slush on the truck or it snowing sideways, as it was yesterday and they basically have hit the lottery. Lots of logging going on and that in itself brings them out like bees to honey! or (BEARS to your money) Best of Luck
