    First off, I realize it likely varies company to company.

    Currently have a "B" with Air Brakes End.

    Have been driving for a Limo/Charter Bus service for over 2 years.

    Any idea if this counts for anything regarding getting hired in an "A" capacity?

    No sorry required, that's good info!
    I didn't know how much of the 2 years related to demonstrating dependability.

    None of it. It's experience driving a vehicle that requires a Class A CDL. They will look at your employment history for dependability.

    None of your experience will count unless you are looking for a Class B job. As far as the Class A is concerned, over the road experience is counted as one point and local work is counted as half a point. They add these points to determine your experience and what rate of pay to give you.

    Hope this makes sense!
