    hey guys i am trying to figure out how what i can actually look for in the experence restrictions. I have recently drove for WSE from july to late november. and also attended a local 3 week CDL training course to get my license in june. Can i consider that 6 months?? I believe i kinda hurt myself by not gettin a full year experience in.

    you MUST HAVE a solid 6 months driving experience, WITH schooling on top of that..

    i had a thread here that specified that, didn't you see it..??

    schooling DOES NOT count as driving experience, as you were "supervised" in your driving, in other words, you WERE NOT a solo driver..

    sorry, you do not have the required time in thus far. you must count all your time with the employer, from start date to end date....

    he is my detailed thread...http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr.../135792-school-experience-does-not-count.html

    cool thanks rerun, i am currently working for a excavating company and was hired on because i have my CDL with a little experience. They say they are going to train me on hauling equipment for them. Once i start doin this will that count as experience needed?

    Who cares? If you got hired by this company to haul equipment and your working don't worry about. Just get as much seat time in as you can before you change again and really learn how to drive. You'll be fine.
