Just my 2 cents here. When I was at TMC orientation (this was before they had a CDL school, so everyone came in with a license) they sent one guy home for having shoulder length dread locks. They aren't kidding around about it. That said there are plenty of good companies that are absolutely fine with long hair, piercings, tattoos, and everything else (prime comes to mind, but I'm sure there are others). Both are good places to work, it just depends on what you are looking for.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.

That company policy must just apply to new recruits. I've seen plenty of TMC drivers that don't meet those guidelines.
