Hello All! I am part of the civilian employee pool that the President is trying to force the vaccine mandate on. A guv'ment mule. I doubt I will take the shot but I've not had to make that decision yet, so I'm in the position to have to look around and test some waters. I passed my CDL test and received my Class A CDL in June of this year. However, I have no driving experience. My only driving has been in my CDL school and on the test. If any of you were in or are in a similar situation what trucking company or companies would you choose to go to work for? I know I'll have to go to a company that trains new drivers so I'd want one with a good record in training. I tend to stay with a company for awhile when I hire own. Retired after 22 years with Army and I've been "a mule" for 10 years now. If the mandate happens I will have the option to drop retirement paperwork and move on or take the jab because my paycheck is a good one. Again, that bridge has not shown up on the road I'm on.
Sometimes, the best bridges are the ones WE build!!!

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.
OOS:
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.
CFI trains and until a rule follows behind the talk there is no decision on what they will do.
If you’re gonna move on because of having to get the jab, what makes you think trucking companies will be exempt?
