High road iis an awesome program all I used and passed first go around... and about the bus think of it as a right of passage. :)
Awesome Matthew! It's a confidence booster for me when I hear people say that about The High Road Training Program.
Congratulations and good luck out there!
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.
OOS:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
Hey Lil 1 ragamuffin, don't sit around waiting on them. Pester them with phone calls, they appreciate a pro-active person coming into their program. I promise you that little bit of effort on your part will pay off. It will keep your name at the top of someones list of applications to be worked on, and get it processed quicker.
All you have to do is ask, "Hey I filled out an application recently and I would like to know what the status is?" Trust me, that will help get your's moving to the top of the stack. They are probably going to tell you what else they need from you each time you get through to someone and that will keep things progressing.
Thank you,,,,I called today,,,my recruiter will not be back in until tomorrow.....if I don't hear from her by noon I will call again...... Question,,,,,,,Are there any parts of the CDL testing that you do not need for permit. Just wondering if I have to study doubles and triples if I do not intend to haul them? Thanks,,,,
You need general knowledge, air brakes, combination and tanker. Once you have your CDL A then you will work with you fleet manager to complete your Hazmat in your state. And that is because there a number of steps you have to take to get the endorsement. Don't worry about the date change, just be glad you have a date. That is a big step in itself. The recruiters are processing hundreds of apps every week and they can only process so many students here in Springfield at a time. Once you get here you will understand what I am talking about. For right now study and get your permit. Once you have your permit keep studying because you want to keep the info fresh in your mind and then and only then start working on the pretrip on the high road program along with logging and weights and balances. Very good info.

Doubles:
Refers to pulling two trailers at the same time, otherwise known as "pups" or "pup trailers" because they're only about 28 feet long. However there are some states that allow doubles that are each 48 feet in length.
Fleet Manager:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure.
