I obtained my CDL-A with hasmat, tanker...I got a job with a company my now "X" boyfriend was at. Without going into the horror that was...I'll just say, I had to get off the truck 2 1/2 months later. I beat myself up for a while about it.....but the more I read the more I realize what I went through starting out was/is not the norm. I've decided to get back in the saddle. I'm looking into a refresher coarse and am looking at a company in NC. Does anyone know about Cargo Transporters.....I know they are a smaller company but does anyone know about them? Any imput would be great. This time out I want a trainer who is committed to safety & teaching to the best of their ability. ... (I've driven buses & smaller trucks for over 30 years....it's in my blood)

  • 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.

Wish I could help you, sister. I'm just starting myself. Maybe post this to the General Forum. There are a lot of experienced drivers on there that could give you some better advice. Good luck in whatever you do! Chin up :) It only gets better from here.
