CDL:

- 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.
Knights been top of my wish list, since I started researching truck driving. Hopefully once my broken legs healed and all done , I can pass any physical. This guy has driven for Knight awhile now, he's pretty up front and has lot of videos he "interviews" the recruiters and such. He likes em alot, and just see he passed his 100k mile mark with them.....Don't usually post links, but think this is relevant to your curiosity about Knight.

TT On Facebook
I had no experience driving tractor/trailers. Many years ago I had a Class B CDL - back then it was just called a chauffeur's license - and I drove the short bus. I'm in the Squire program. Two weeks on the range learning the basics, then a road test and a few written tests, then 4 weeks OTR with a trainer, then another road test and another written test. Now I'm on my 30,000 mile 'probation' period which I should wrap up in the next few weeks if all goes well.

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
