    My husband's one year anniversary date is 9/16; Does the 8 week training count towards his experience. I was told it is extremely important to not quit before his 1 year date even by a day because it is possible that all of his time will basically be forfeited. (something with insurance and out of the compan's hands) is this true

    No when he got his CDLs the date on his license didn't change the endorsements were just added on and he had to get a new picture because the background color was different for a CDL license

    your right. I just renewed my license and it's not on there, but on my old license it states the date I got my CDL. The date at the bottom must be the last date you renewed the license.

    It only makes sense that the experience starts when you start driving.

    Your right, the hire date is when experience starts.
