Like the title says, today is my 1 year anniversary with my current company and in trucking. I did drive for another company OTR for a few months before moving to my current so technically I’ve been driving for a little over a year. I have to say that I’m enjoying my new career. Drove a little over 100k miles and made $65k with this company so no complaints here. I’m home every night and I really couldn’t ask for more. No incidents either! Thank you trucking truth for your CDL training info and forum. Jason

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.

OTR:

Over The Road

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.
