Because 10 is required.
3 for driving a CMV, and an additional 7 for driving a CDL required CMV.
Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR)truckdriver31 Thanks this. -

How is the job application worded?
If you've had a CDL for the past 10 years, then, yes, you have to account for that time.
My understanding is, they go back 3 years for drivers that haven't had a CDL, but a trucking company can go back further if they want.Last edited: Nov 14, 2019
dwalto and truckdriver31 Thank this. -
I guess the language in the fmcsa book is confusing. If I understand right, you have to provide them with 10 year history but they’re only required to check back 3 years?

10 yrs. for other cdl holders.
That's the minimum. Trucking companies can go 10 years for everyone if they want to or even further back.dwalto and truckdriver31 Thank this. -

@Ridgeline is a fleet owner and can answer this question better that I can. -
I've always heard 3 years. New or not.
Most of my former employers don't usually stick around 10 years.
You won't get a hold of my last company. ELD put him out of business. Running Cali and back.
The company I started OTR when the recession hit. FBI shut them down.
Another OTR company. Has new investors and couldn't find my info.
