Got my CDL yesterday

Most states do NOT have that law look up one party states to find a list California is a two party state

 

Wow really?

With all the complaining about it, it is like they wanted to stop people from making money.

OK smart *** comment done for the day.

 

I would never tell anyone to break the law, but when was the last time you heard of someone being prosecuted for it? It is a misdemeanor, so either the LEO would have to witness you doing it in real time, or the other party would have to arrest you as a citizen, prove you were in California when you recorded them, and the DA would have to sign off on prosecuting it.

 

Some of them won't message you, the QC messages can't be deleted, leave a paper trail, and their management can read them, dispatchers know this.
I would not worry to much about some drivers not having a CDL, both are large companies, and you have yours, which is what counts. I would almost bet the majority of the no CDL violations are not having a valid medical certificate, basically they expired and they either forgot, or they put it off until the last minute and last minute caught up with them. Being in the OC, there are a few places you can probably get permission to park, check around Santa Ana, there are few mom & pop companies that may let you park in their yards, also look in Westminster. I would drive the area, if you see a yard, stop in, explain you will not be there often, maybe a few days every month or two, ask if they rent space for a bobtail. I heard at one time you could park at the OC Fair Grounds for a few bucks a month when they are not having the fair, not sure if you still can or not, same with the old El Toro Base.

 

Congratulations.

 

Did you go with Werner?

 

Its aganist the law for them to force you to drive. Also, companies are going to tell you anything you want to hear to get you in the door.
