Ok, I checked on this and they told me that you already had to have your CDL. I appreciate it anyway.
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.
I think it would depend on how long you went without having it.
I'm thinking Brett or Old School will chime in here any minute.
I had to downgrade it on 04/11/2015. That was 10 days before my physical was set to expire.
Typo. Date should read 04/11/2016. Forgive me about the error.
Just an update: I wanted to let you all know that I decided to go with Jim Palmer trucking for my retraining. My plan is to stick with them at least a year and then go back to work for Werner. Please pray for me that all of this goes ok for me. I really want to get back into this. I love y'all and thank you for helping me select a training company to get back out there. I really appreciate it. To Brett and all of the moderators: Thanks so much for building and maintaining this site. It is really helpful.
Today is when I put in the app. About how long will it take to hear back from them?
A lot of companies guarantee a response within 24 hours. May just be a recording though.
Good luck to you...! Be patient with JP. They tend to take a bit longer to process applications. Not a bad thing...
Please keep us posted.

Ok, I need to make sure of something: this link you provided me, is it just for people who have their CDL and need a refresher course or do they help you get your CDL? I need to get my CDL back.
