Training
Topic 29081 | Page 1
Just wanting to get some information please. I have recently received my CDL and looking for a company that can help train me. Being with no experience no one will give me a chance. Having some issues any advice or help with this would be greatly appreciated. \

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.
Being at the "have my CDL , but..." stage as well, I feel for all others who are and reach out. Yes, like Anne said, if you want help there's a lot of folks here super-qualified and willing to answer and advise... All you need to do is stick around, post again to give enough info about your situation, be willing to ask follow-ups... As it is, there's not much specifically they can say to be helpful... Good luck regardless! --E.Z.

Hello. The links Anne gave are an excellent start.
"No one will hire me" sounds like you went to a local CDL school and want a local job without going over the road for training? Is that correct? Or are there issues in your past that make this difficult?
What are you looking for and what is in your past?

Over The Road:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
