Hello to all of you in this here community. After stumbling across this website while looking for answers many, many times, I decided to join all of you as a resource to aid in any way I can. Although I am affiliated with a counseling organization, my main goal in joining is to be a credible source of information concerning everything CDL. I have worked with CDL drivers for two years and Alcohol/Drugs for four years. As I progressed in this profession I noticed a severe lack of information as well as misinformation concerning the procedures for testing and reinstatement. Although it is a very straightforward process, without ever being involved on the clinical end it is hard to understand what's happening. My inbox is open to any questions you may have. I'll also be commenting to help you all out with your individual problems/concerns whenever I can! Occasionally, if time allows, I'll try to post comprehensive how-to's along with guide's and tips for these processes. Thanks for having me! -Nick

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.

Hi, and welcome to TT.

I am a little confused, as to the particular area of your expertise, but I am assuming that it is on the clinical side. I may be misreading it, as i sometimes have a habit of doing. Aside from that, i hope you enjoy your stay.
