Greetings, Trucking Truth! I've been lurking for a while now. I just started CDL training at Alliance. I wanted to thank everyone involved with this site! it as been a huge resource for me as I've decided to change careers and become a professional driver. The training materials on this site are top notch and have taught me alot. I'm still a little nervous due to the challenges ahead. But, I will face and overcome them. I've wanted to be a trucker since I was a kid. I can't wait to get out there and start learning and getting better! I'll be attending orientation at McElroy after graduation. I use to load flatbeds all the time. It will be nice to be the one driving them now! Thanks again to everyone for all of the knowledge that is on here, I really appreciate it!!!

  • 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.
