The requirements for paid cdl training include being above the age of 21, being a US resident, a great job history, and you must be an excellent driver. CDL stands for Commercial Truck Driver, and it does pay a decent amount of money.
To get a non cdl driving job, you have to get a experienced driver and also have a real driver license. Thank you for asking this difficult question, im happy to answer
If the vehicle requires a CDL to be operated, then yes. An owner/operator is subject to the same licencing requirements as a company driver.
The D.O.T. website has a section devoted entirely to Commercial Driver's License requirements. You can see it all here: http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registration-licensing/cdl/cdl.htm
drivers must comply with Federal regulations and any State regulations that are stricter than Federal requirements. Truck drivers must have a driver's license issued by the State they live in, and most employers require a clean driving record.
Commercial driver's license can be obtained from the Department of Transportation. All you have to do is appear in their office personally and pass the physical exam, drug test, and the CDL test.
Depending on your state, there may not be any non-CDL Class A, B, and C licenses - CDLs are federally regulated... other license types are not. In states which do have that system, the weight rating equivalents are the same as they are for the corresponding class of CDL.
Whatever the employer decides, so long as they meet minimum wage requirements. There isn't one blanket answer for this, as there are three classes of CDL, and a wide variety of jobs which involve operating a vehicle which requires a CDL.
You will fail a CDL drug test with ANY detectable amount of THC in your system.
Depends on which Class of CDL. A driver with a Class C CDL is not licensed on that vehicle. A driver with a Class B CDL can drive that combination only if the GVW of the trailer is less than 10,000 lbs. A driver with a Class A CDL can drive it.
For a USDOT or state exemption registered commercial carrier, any driver - whether they're driving interstate or intrastate, MUST possess the appropriate class of CDL. The only exception for this are vehicles which are exempt from CDL licencing requirements, to include recreational vehicles, firefighting and first response vehicles, military vehicles when operated by military personnel, and registered farm vehicles. In those instances, the state of residence maintains jurisdiction of licencing requirements for those types of vehicles. The FMCSR is very clear in stating that, if you do not possess a CDL or a CDL permit (while supervised by a fully licenced driver), you're not, at any point, supposed to be in any sort of actual physical control of that vehicle.
Firefighting and emergency response vehicles are exempt from CDL requirements under federal law. The state may, however, require that a non-CDL Class A or B licence be held by the driver of the vehicle, and individual department policies may require a CDL, rather than a non-CDL licence.
