Wrong. As I said earlier, GVWR changes based on your axle configuration. 80,000 lbs is by no means a universal number. I'm driving a single axle...
Only if you want to go to a mega. Some small shops only care about whether or not you held a CDL for a certain length of time, and couldn't care...
Why are we still assuming that all loads are 80,000 lbs?
The real sad part is that by the time you and I retire, that will be the common driver........ Or they'll have full autopilot trucks by then........
I started at a big company (CR England), and drove for them 3 years. They didn't put anything on my DAC that wasn't supposed to be there. I had...

12,000 steers, 20,000 drive, 34,000 trailer tandem making your GVWR 66,000 lbs. Subtract your curb weight + fuel from your GVWR to determine how...

It would be general freight, probably similar to what you were hauling OTR, but less of it (hense the LTL acronym for Less Than Truckload). Line...
Sounds to me like your CDL got downgraded due to medical card issues.
By the way, there is no such thing as a absolute 'free market'. At least not in the US anyway.
It needs to happen, or this industry will continue on its downward spiral as drivers continue to underbid eachother to oblivion and allow...
It depends on what you want to drag behind you. Personally I went with line haul/LTL, but I waited almost 8 years before I made that move. I'm...
Why is everyone so afraid of winter? If you're going to babysit truckstops whenever it isn't sunny and warm, you need to reevaluate your career...
I must be engaged to the wrong woman!
