Returning to driving need CDL again

Best to go to dmv and get a new practice cdl road book and ask them if they know of any companies that rent trucks for road test.

Alot of these companies leave their trucks on dmv yards.

 

Just make sure to do it in the state you live in.

 

Get locked into a school is as bad as a bad lease to own.

Find a rental company, owe nobody nothing.

 

After he gets back his CDL let him know that even if he stops working as a CDL he can/should keep it. He doesn't have to keep a valid medical card, he can just self-certify one of the options that says "exempt from medical card requirement". If I recall, there is A. driving INTERSTATE and have new medical card. B. Driving INTRASTATE and have new medical card. C. Agriculture _ exempt from Medical card. D. something else.

Then if he ever goes back to driving on his CDL he just need to get a fresh medical card and self-certify he has one. A family member has a CDL doesn't drive a truck but was paying for a fresh medical card every 2 years until we found out how to use the self-certify categories.

 

Has he actually asked your local DOT/DMV what he needs to reinstate it? Some states have time spans that he might just have to pay a fee...
