    DOT regs allow only one CDL. It will include your "regular" driving authorizations. In my case, the document I get will have "Commercial Driver License" across the top of the card and I will have all the sight limitations (Must wear glasses) and a Motorcycle endorsement, plus any commercial endorsements like hazmat, tanker, double/triple, and such.

    Michigan is a funny state and Mass might be, too, so check with your DMV for the specifics. Or relocate to MO and not worry about it! Might be cheaper than Taxachusetts!

    Ask the recruiter about this,and how they work it, and she said"i have been doing this a long time,and I have not heard of anyone having a problem" so I guess we need to find someone who is a MA resident who went thru this to tell us the real scoop, and if there will be an issue or not..
     
    DenaliDad Thanks this.

    Prime used to train in Salt Lake City too. Don't know if they still do that or not. Be prepared to make jack squat for the next year if you sign on with them. And for God's sake don't let them talk you into leasing.

    Don't train in Salt Lake. You can expect around $800 gross before taxes on the average - as long as freight holds up this year. Unless you're planning on lots of not rolling down the road. Don't forget to be putting some away for the slow freight period after the winter holidays. Freight has a yearly cycle to it...

    Leasing? Can be very profitable, if you know what you're doing. That takes time, and is not for a newb.
