With the new ELDT requirements it will more than likely make you go through another training program. I hope not but am afraid so

I live in NC. I have air brakes and combination skills just not semi trailer. I have CDL A. Im not currently employed cause of the reason for the SAP program.

I'm not sure they go that far south, but check into Dutch Maid Logistics; they train from the get go..here in Ohio. Appears you WILL have to start over. Did you look into Western Express? They MAY accept your CDL, as is; no guarantee. Just 2 thoughts.

Thanks for adding location, I sure don't have much for the PNW folks.

That's going to be a significant hindrance from what I have read about. The biggest thing (again not personal experience) is time between the issue and now. It's going to be a rough road for sure. Good luck.

And I have seen various people in the past post that different companies require a different amount of program. So if company A accepts 1 week. Company B may require 2 months.

Of course that may not be true. I would be interested in hearing of your journey and how it plays out
