{"replyTo":"","text":"All CDL holders regardless of class have to jump through the same flaming hoops to get and keep their credentials current. If you get paid it’s your profession therefor the only difference is the skills and training requirements. All CDL holders are professional drivers. Although NASCAR would be cool too. Lmao 😂😂😂","replyToPid":0}

435615 发表于 2019-09-14 16:49:21 Those claming \" CDL Holder \" would say the same. How do they differ in application?

","text":"There isnt much of a difference but when I think of CDL holder, it may be someone that physically has a CDL but may not use it. If you are not driving trucks for money, you are not a \"Proffessional Driver\". that is my opinion","replyToPid":207678}

{"replyTo":"","text":"It’s a fantasy title. They say as a professional driver you are to set the example for the road ways. Is what a DOT officer told me once. I told him how do you set good examples among the stupid. Needless to say I got a ticket for going 49 mph in a 45 zone.  Cost for ticket $492.00 dollars. ","replyToPid":0}

435615 发表于 2019-09-14 16:34:49 Wanted to see others view on a topic I hear at fuel islands and travel stores. I understand both view points with me it's about those in either position if they claim the title. Live it daily.  I see at least one or two accidents a day involving rigs. As I'm sure many other long haul, otr drivers see.

{"replyTo":"","text":"Example..\nThis morning inbound East on I-40 I pulled over with flasher's and triangles to check my trailer breaks. I counted 10 rigs zoom past me directly next to my rig. Normally trucks move one lane over to clear the rig flashing hazards. Guess this morning was not driver friendly for me. lol","replyToPid":0}

","text":"I see your point. Our job in this sector of work isn't fantasy. Those who long haul have it rough when there away from there family for a duration of time. (my opinion) I'm noticing a decline in various areas in our line of work. From equipment to driver and everything in between, company wide in the 48 states. Wondering if others see what I see. I'm speaking from a long haul 48 state point of view.","replyToPid":207641}
