You'll probably be required to do a "refresher" course. Any training company can help you with that.

Are you ready to get 'back in the saddle,' Victor? If I recall, you got your CDL awhile back, but got pulled away from utilizing it/going to school, due to family reasons.

I hope that's all worked out for ya by now, good sir! The suggestions above are all excellent, and many can be found, right here on TT. I'm thinking you may have to 'start over' if you've been out of the game that long, but that's okay! Better now, than not!

Wish you well; let us know!

I got my class A one year ago and I wasn't ready for the otr experience yet but I'm planning on going most likely a yr from now due to family problems.

Anne,

It looks like it's still going to be awhile... that's from another post of his.

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.

I don' know if the OP is still looking, or how worthwhile these in-person events are, but FWIW, this showed up in my inbox yesterday. Here's the link to the event.

Their website shows 20 openings in Keasbey, and 21 at their location on Jacobus Avenue in Kearny.
