Hello World... Getting ready to start this journey and before I make a 100 calls, hopefully you can help me narrow this down to 10!

Needs in a company:

West Coast transport to or from Midwest. Home base is in the middle of the Ozarks, specifically Springfield, MO (PRIME headquarters). Need my 45 pd dog to go with me every once in awhile (more than not). Do companies weigh your animal?

Also a matching 401 at 5% and perfer at least 75% insurance paid.

Like to be gone no more than 2weeks at a time with a min 3days home time.

Does this exist?

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.

OOS:

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
