Alley Dock By Sight During CDL Test.
Topic 27169 | Page 2
I have no clue what to expect, but I'm ready for this new adventure.
It's great that you're ready, but not so great that you "have no clue what to expect." DC, we've got a whole section of our website devoted to newbies telling of their orientation and training experiences. We put a lot of information together to help you guys know what you're getting into. We can't spoon feed you though. You've got to put in some effort to educate yourself. Going into something complex like trucking requires a high level of preparation.
I forgot, when writing, one must explain themselves explicitly, or they won't be understood properly. I've been through the website from top to bottom, thank you for reminding me. I was just referring to details, LOL interesting how we all communicate differently.
Congrats on your CDL!!!
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.
Well, today is Wednesday, I have my trainer and we've spoken, he will be in town on Friday, and we will chat about getting on the road.
