    Hello,

    I operate a party bus company and we require our drivers to have a CDL to drive our buses. The new requirements to get a CDL seem to require the drivers go to in school training which is very cost prohibitive. Is there any way around this new requirement?

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    sounds to me like you want to circumvent the rules/laws.

    so then i'd gotta wonder what else you circumvent in your business, like inspections, repairs, drug screening, insurance, etc.

    do things the right way, or sell the business to someone who will..???

    Is there a farm exemption?
    If not. That’s gonna suck for farmers or like businesses to have to go that extra step

    Nope, being taught by dad or granddad won't fly anymore. You gotta pay big time or become an indentured servant to a mega who offers it..

    It sounds like you want to hire shady drivers. They kill people. Check out the scum bag who murdered 20 people in his Limousine.
