Nope, team driving.

Some courier companies don't require cdl. Google : courier companies in Ohio
Rental car companies and U-Haul use non-cdl drivers to transfer equipment to various states. They get too much equipment turned in at certain places and have to move some of it to other locations that are short on equipment.
These moves could be across the state or across the country.Last edited: Apr 19, 2016

Thanks everyone for the info. Sincerely appreciated. Will let you know if anything pans out
Chinatown Thanks this. -
You can also look into UPS and Fed Ex. Don't know if you would be able to do long routes without a CDL, but you could run their local deliveries and make a decent hourly wage. Also these companies are notorious for contracting out to other transport companies so that is also something you can look at. I know that here in southern Oregon Fed Ex has a couple "subcontractors" that deliver for them.

Everyone has been so helpful on here. But I am a bit confused I contacted Uhaul via Facebook about driving there trucks that have extra/overload equipment. Out of state as well as long distances.
She told me to be a driver you just need a basic drivers licenses(which is what I figured) She directed me to movinghelpers.com which is partnered with Uhaul but it looks like some other rental companies work with them as well(not sure though). She gave me a 800 # to call but wouldn't I want to speak to the people at Uhaul directly since they have the trucks?? And not moving helpers?? Thanks Justin -
No cdl needed for driving a switcher

Thanks for the replies. The correct answer is what witchinghour said. Spoke with a local owner.
"If you rent the equipment you do not need a CDL if hired as a transport driver you do. Most states allow you to drive your own belongs in equipment under the weight limits. Once it becomes a job you have to comply with the laws depending on the equipment size.
Legally Moving Companies that rent our equipment are suppose to follow the same laws even carrying log books."
With that being said I have done more google searches on courier/transport driving(spring like cars) and haven't seen anything too desirable yet. Any other ideas/leads??
Not interested in a cdl because I don't want the responsibility and it's not for everyone. Have looked into the post office extensively and tried getting in. It's difficult.
Just a little background.. I owned my own dog waste removal service until about a year and a half ago. I did it for 4-5 years. I built up a decent client and serviced 4 counties(nice route) in my region but I wasn't doing as well as I liked. And the winters in northern Ohio are usually rough. This kind of business does better in regions that get less snow. It's just a bit if a downer when you keep looking for work, going for interviews, taking post office exams and coming up short. Thanks for the slight vent.

Dynamex is a huge courier company. They do cars to truckloads across the country. You might find something with them, if not, craigslist.
