Military experience for CDL soon easier?

Currently anyone in the military wanting to get a CDL for their military experience has to go through their home state and several don't support it.

Soon getting a CDL for military experience will work for where military are stationed, without having to wait for their home state to support the program.

"It was expected to be signed into law by President Barack Obama and become law no later than Oct. 10."

I understand that even with a CDL and no civilian experience, former military personnel will likely still have to go through a refresher course and maybe drive with a trainer for a few weeks. A refresher course would save former military personnel money and time over a full CDL course. Already having a CDL would also help former military choose a good company.

 

Like you say, I don't think setting out without civilian training is setting someone up for success. Driving with a trainer for a few weeks is good advice for anyone without experience, and that's the way over-the-road companies operate. I think this law just lets people with military experience pay half as much, if anything, for a civilian refresher course rather than the full CDL cost.
