Good luck from Denmark 🇩🇰
Hey everyone, my application has been approved and I am on the waiting list for Maverick’s CDL sponsorship program. They say it can be 1-2 mobths wait. I figure I have waited this long to do what I have always wanted, I can wait a little longer. I have been doing the High Road CDL Training Program and have completed the General knowledge and Air brakes portions and working on Combination vehicles now. I’m pretty excited, and scared to death at the same time.

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
A vehicle with two separate parts - the power unit (tractor) and the trailer. Tractor-trailers are considered combination vehicles.
I think you will be very pleasantly surprised! I know I have been so far.
Congrats on being accepted!
Thanks everyone! Jeremy, I can’t wait!!! Nervous as crap, but so excited at the same time!!

Don’t forget the Pre-Trip pdf that Daniel B put together. If you have most of that memorized, you’ll ace the CDL for sure.
It helped me recognize parts of the CLP that I didn’t know since I had never been in a truck until company paid training started.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
Before getting their CDL, commercial drivers will receive their commercial learner's permit (CLP) upon passing the written portion of the CDL exam. They will not have to retake the written exam to get their CDL.
I know that feeling, Jason. Remember, anything worth doing will always scare the daylights outta you. You got this, man.
Thanks Splitter! I have it downloaded and printed off. As soon as I finish the High Road CDL course I am gonna hit it hard. Thanks again for the tip!!

Thanks Peter M! It must be really worth doing then!! I am more nervous than a cat in a room full of rockin chairs!!

Good mornong everyone! I got a call from my recruiter yesterday evening. Still don’t have a spot in class yet. But he did say that the actual Maverick CDL training program is getting closer to rolling out and once that happens they will be able to take more people at a time. I’m not upset, they were totally upfront and told me that there was a 1-2 month waiting period. I am just anxious to get started!! It is getting tougher and tougher to go in to my current job everyday. I didn’t realize how long two months was I suppose! Lol I’ll post an update when I get my notice that I have a spot in class. Stay safe out there everyone!

I feel for ya, Jason. A year ago, I set a time frame for when I'd pursue this dream of mine to become a trucker. I told myself that September 2018 would be the earliest I would start the transition (as I had kids finishing high school). The second caveat to my planned date was "if and when I get laid off again"... that's the part that hasn't happened yet; it will happen as it's a common occurrence in my line of work. I don't hate my job, I just don't love it and it is tough to come into work everyday but the pay and benefits are nice so I'm going to ride this train as long as I can. Like you, when the time is right, I will happily make the jump. Good luck and fill your time with studying. Looking forward to your journal!
