    Dude, I literally left 90k foodservice job and came back to mega, I spent 5 years in. Now I work below 45 hours a week, homedaily before 7pm and off weekends, 1300 guaranteed, and get around in their truck. Pick whoever, apparently doesn't matter anymore lol

    Some drivers keep the license from CDL school until it runs out, then go back to their home state to change it.
    Maybe you can get your domicile changed and not have to go back to NYC.
    Some request Stevens Transport and request their school in Colorado, so they get a Colorado CDL. With Stevens Transport you'll see all the western states. After Stevens cdl school, you'll go to Texas for orientation.

    When does the Colorado CDL expire; how long?
    Northeast and South, but most importantly, the West/Pacific Northwest.

    He hasn't posted unless I missed it. He's from NYC also.
    He went to the Springfield, Missouri school.
    You can probably go there also if you ask.

    Hmm so they get their cdl in Texas or Colorado? Honestly the less hoping around would be better for me . I was told from other Companies I would go back home and get my license . They never said a word about transferring my cdl which .

    I have to look up Stevens Transport .. my window is closing as far as finding work . . Been digging asking calling recruiters tracing filter out what’s being just said and what’s really the deal . I have crossed many saying one thing then another saying different so it’s difficult. So far help that I have got her was most solid thanx again
