1 Year Drivers License Requirement
Topic 7990 | Page 1
I was wanting to know is there any schools that don't require the 1 year valid drivers license requirement?
It's not so much the school that requires it. It's the dmv that asks if you have had it for one year... Have you had a full year of drivers license in your lifetime.. I ask cause I went from June of 2014 to February of this year without a license but I had a year before that...
Dm:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.DMV:
Department of Motor Vehicles, Bureau of Motor Vehicles
The state agency that handles everything related to your driver's licences, including testing, issuance, transfers, and revocation.

Unfortunately no I havent...I originally got my license when I was 19 and lost them very shortly afterwards (had a dwi charge but never convicted) however I was still hit with surcharges and all that. I am now 36 and piecing my life back together. I got my license back about a week ago.

Driving While Intoxicated
Check with your dmv to make sure you will be able to obtain a cdl a then apply to all Company-Sponsored Training and see what they say. The worst they can say is no you have to wait a year and if they say that baby that license for a year then try again...

Company-sponsored Training:
A Company-Sponsored Training Program is a school that is owned and operated by a trucking company.
The schooling often requires little or no money up front. Instead of paying up-front tuition you will sign an agreement to work for the company for a specified amount of time after graduation, usually around a year, at a slightly lower rate of pay in order to pay for the training.
If you choose to quit working for the company before your year is up, they will normally require you to pay back a prorated amount of money for the schooling. The amount you pay back will be comparable to what you would have paid if you went to an independently owned school.
Company-sponsored training can be an excellent way to get your career underway if you can't afford the tuition up front for private schooling.
I believe that requirement is a state by state regulation. Some require it, some don't. That's the impression I'm under.
I'll say this too. One thing trucking companies are really big on is recent employment. They really don't like bringing people in that haven't been employed regularly, at least in the past year. So along with working on getting your license back, make sure you're working somewhere steadily. It's important to have a job but it's not that important what the job is. You don't have to impress them with what you've been doing. You just have to show that you've been doing something productive.
Thank you guys very much! The info was very helpful and I really appreciate your time and insight...
