Hi all,

One question, maybe two. Will go thru training in NJ and obtain an NJ CDL hopefully before May is over. Am planning on relocating to Indianapolis where my daughter lives immediately after. When I start applying should I request that I be considered for employment in IN? Should I expect any complications? How would you go about it?

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.

Thanks Starcar. I did apply thru TT Job Application and got a few replies though I got thoroughly confused. One or two, or is it three companies, both accepted and turned me down at the same time. What gives??? Some of them will be sending recruiters to an open house at the trucking school I will be attending. Hoping to get a job offer then.
