Hey congrats Jody! Glad to hear that!

If you haven't already started, it's time to hit our High Road CDL Training Program hard. Learn all you possibly can before you get started and your life will be so much easier. Our program covers the logbook , cargo loading, and weight & balance which are all topics that get very little coverage in the CDL manual or in most schools. If you can learn that stuff now you'll be way ahead of the game.

Learn The Logbook Rules (HOS)

Truck Weight And Cargo Loading

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.

Logbook:

A written or electronic record of a driver's duty status which must be maintained at all times. The driver records the amount of time spent driving, on-duty not driving, in the sleeper berth, or off duty. The enforcement of the Hours Of Service Rules (HOS) are based upon the entries put in a driver's logbook.

HOS:

Hours Of Service

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.

Jody, please consider doing a training diary. Millis is semi-local to me and definitely on my short list. I'd love to read about your experiences there.

I will be glad to! Like I say, I won’t start training until May, but I’ll be glad to help. I will say this, I like the idea of a smaller company.
