Canada?
Topic 16911 | Page 1
Hey, Nancy! Did your get your CDL yet? Or are you simply riding along?
I checked Trucker Path, it seems TP "works" in the Dominion of Canada just as well. But 😣 I didn't see any WM listings.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
Hi Errol, No CDL , I'm home. Being patient, studing the guide, and awaiting news from 1 application. I really want this one company to accept me. If not, I'll move on. Relayed the info to the husband, one review said get a canada petro card if you want to take a shower. That's interesting. And being in the passenger seat is not that simple. Especially after, "DAMN, I PASSED THE ENTRANCE!". I sure do miss it.

Trucking Truth is not really the place for secrets like this. (Someone may be able to give specific advice!) Unless you're worried about getting a jinx, can you let on what company you applied to?
Wil-trans. Its perfect, right up my alley. Feels right. And just for saying that, ya, its gonna screw up. Sad to give up on swift. Im very disappointed in them for their stupidity. Ok now, calm down. How come ur not driving? Or is that a big secret?
SAP:
Substance Abuse Professional
The Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) is a person who evaluates employees who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol program regulation and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up testing, and aftercare.
Wil-Trans:
Darrel Wilson bought his first tractor in 1980 at age 20, but, being too young to meet OTR age requirements, he leased the truck out and hired a driver.
Through growth and acquisition, Wil-Trans now employs over 200 drivers, and has a long-standing partnership with Prime, Inc. to haul their refrigerated freight. The family of businesses also includes Jim Palmer Trucking and O & S Trucking.
Nancy asks hard questions:

I use a tablet steering wheel holder. How do you think I caught the World Series?
NOT!!
I'm on a rolling 4 on, 2 off schedule now. I'm off today.
I hope Wil-Trans comes through for you.

When you said tablet steering wheel i thought of those little kid toys with the steering wheel and the horn. Didnt tell you how hard i was laughing.
