You’ll have to do an entry level driver training course to get your hazmat again, in addition to the other things. It’s about $150 amd sit through some online videos to pass the course.
austinmike, bryan21384 and insipidtoast Thank this. -
By training, you mean their own CDL school? Or do you just mean going in a trainer's truck?
-
Long list of demands?
-No driver-facing cameras
-A reasonable length of time training
-No NYC
-Rider Policy

You mean road training like I did in CDL school, or is this just some classroom thing you're talking about?

If you want to make your life easy, call Schneider and go drive for them for 90 days. Forget about all your other requirements. You quit the industry and now you want to walk back in making demands like you never left? I got news buddy, no one cares. Call Schneider.
austinmike and Gomer1969 Thank this. -
Just an online deal. I had to do it last year to get my hazmat. It was a few videos to watch and then a quiz to take. Once you pass it goes into the system so that once the training and finger prints are done you can go take the written test at the DMV.
If you google hazmat entry level driver training a bunch will pop up. I think the one I used was Midwest Driving School or something.austinmike Thanks this. -
OK thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into them.
Although, what makes you think 90 days of recent experience changes much? I personally haven't seen that language. Seems most companies want a year of "recent" experience in the past 3 or five years with at least 6 months in the past year.Mega Express Thanks this. -
I dropped my CDL 8 years ago so I'm going through the whole shebang again. I decided on this route because I'll be getting paid to get my CDL back instead of having to pay to rent a truck for practice and testing, its about a $2-3k swing in my favor this way.
