What a STRESSFUL past few weeks. I HAVE FINALLY EARNED MY CDL. My journey can now begin with my trainer for 6 weeks. I went with FFE/KLLM TRANSPORTATION and what a great program it is, VERY FAST PACE but instructors are great, VERY patient with everyone. I came to the program not ever even been on a tractor trailer. But this company really cares, they stress SAFETY and G.O.A.L (Get Out And Look. I recommend this program.

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.

Congrats Rene!!!!

I hate to be the one to cut the party short, but you know that was the easy part you just finished, right? The next stage of training is even harder....and going solo is even harder!

Just keep on workin hard. There's a whole lot more to learn. But the good news is if you can get to this point then you can certainly get through the rest of training and get out there as a solo driver and get the job done.

Good luck! Keep us updated!
