Interview Update W/ ODFL
Topic 30677 | Page 3
Does anything change if I already have my class A CDL?
You just won't have to worry about the pretrip. And you'll be driving a lot more since that's your weakness.
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.
Any updates? OD get back to you yet?
Pretty much Pack haha! I get updates as the background check goes and it says it will be complete anytime between now and next Tuesday. So just playing the waiting game for now.
Hey Daniel. Quick question. Got an email saying my background check was complete on Friday and I sent in the most recent DOT physical I have to OD. Everything sounds like it's going well. How soon does that phone call come in for that start date? Or whether they went with a different candidate? Also when is the next training class to begin this month or next month?
DOT:
Department Of Transportation
A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.
State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.

Thanks! I'll be on the lookout for the call tomorrow.
Here we go again...
Pretty much Pack. Had to stop myself from calling to see any updates to follow up. You're supposed to wait three days after the first date, right? 😂 Joking aside, would it be rude to call for a follow up?
