    It's not a tractor trailer (big rig), so no.

    List it on future applications. My employer would call you out on it. It's still on record

    It is not commercial experience, It's not CDL Classification in "CDL employers" eyes. Starting with Zero experience. Does not matter if they have MC number. Still not CDL experience. You are not good to go hiding the fix it ticket. Depends on future employer. ABF would send you 90 emails about it and then following it up with 55 phone calls from HR and Terminal Manager and then 15 Emails explaining.:biggrin_2559:
