Newbie Question-cdl Permit
Topic 18392 | Page 1
Welcome Rick!
Listen, forget about forcing your way through that manual. We have a much better way to go. We've built the manual into a really amazing system - our High Road Training Program. It breaks the manual down into bite size chunks and then has a short quiz at the end of each section.
As you work your way through the program you'll be given review questions from previous pages along with the questions from the page you're on. So as you're learning new materials you're reviewing the old ones to really plant them in your brain for good retention.
Our High Road Training dashboard shows you what each section applies to - either your permit, your endorsements, or your job duties. Start working your way through our system and you'll get way, way better results than you would simply trying to read the CDL manual.
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.
Curious - how does the site allow users to create the same username as an already existing user?
Does one of us need to change our name?

By default, everyone's username is their first name and the first letter of their last name. Anyone can click on their name to view their profile and change their username anytime.
Does one of us need to change our name?
No, it doesn't hurt anything.
