Profile For Corey M.

An applicant intending to operate a vehicle requiring a commercial driver's license (CDL) must provide a total of 10 years of employment history for which he/she operated a commercial motor vehicle (383.35, 391.21(b)(11).

I have seen this stated in several places, but the wording is confusing. As I have no employment history at all in which I have operated a commercial motor vehicle, how could I provide 10 years of history? Not trying to argue with you, just trying to get clarity.

Again ,Thanks for the quick responses. I figure if I have to explain any breaks in my work history I can say I was helping my Father who has 100% disability through the V.A. Granted I do live with him and do help out, but he doesn't need actual care from me. What kind of verification would I need to prove this?

Thanks again for the replies, I am still a little worried as I never really thought about work history in the past, so I really have no idea of exact dates on much of my past, I couldn't tell ya when I started and or quit anything past last 2 jobs. I kinda wiped it from memory once I moved on. Same with documentation, I am actually surprised I was able to find last 4 years W2's. Do they scrutinize past receiving a W2, because some of them were for only a few months, not a whole year.

Congratulations

Congrats, I hope in the near future I can share the experience.

W2's should be just fine. If you have been on unemployment for a while have that paperwork as well.

Thanks for the reply.

Like most, I am here because I am interested in a career in trucking, but I have some concerns with my past work history. Unfortunately, I have been working in the kitchen/restaurant industry for past several years, and all but my current employer have gone out of business. Will this affect my chances since they can't actually contact them. I do have W-2's for all of them. Also, is it a bad sign that literally all of the companies I have worked for my entire life all closed at one point including the family business lol?
