    I just signed up/paid for a local .gov tech school CDL program. 8 weeks/320 hrs, will have my FL CDL - A after all is said and done and I graduate.

    Besides the on the road with a trainer portion, what type of training/testing do companies make you go through if you already have your CDL - A?

    Appreciate the help.

    With our company, 10 days of orientation then you're on your own, no spending weeks in a truck with someone you don't know kissing their butt hoping they put in a good word for you...
