I Surrendered My CDL 17 Years Ago
Topic 32107 | Page 1
Which story is the most correct?
I think it was the Gap Band.
You dropped a bomb on me!!
It's been roughly 17 years since the last time I drove to Orlando Florida and back to NYC Hunt's Point Market. I surrendered my CDL in 2005, after the owner retired and sold the equipment. I haven't driven since and wondered that if I return, would I need to go over the whole training course again like a rookie, and with a driver trainer?
You would have to start from scratch, yes
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.
