CDL based?.....so much for small van carriers where a CDL is not needed....or I am I misunderstanding?...which would not be improbable...

What motor carriers don't require their commercial van drivers to have a CDL?

I understand it's not required based on GVW but there are many other safety issues that follow a CDL.

Please name names.....

lets start with an easy one.....
Load1...
XPO..for another...(copy of xiggi line)...When I worked there xpo did not require it, don't know about today.
the only safety factor I can think of off hand is I believe a CDL is required to have a Hazmat endorsement...other then that a CDL is useless and actually a cost burden on a CV driver

FWIW, I don't know anything about this other than what is contained within this thread.

Also, I do not have a CDL. I used to, but dropped the HAZMAT endorsement, and thus surrendered the Class C CDL, after realizing that I had only had 4 placarded loads within the previous 5 years.

I'm also quite sure (although I don't know, but feel 99% confident) that I am not eligible for the award. I am 100% sure that I am not deserving of it, in any case.

" if you do not have a CDL as long as you meet the other requirements you are still eligible."
Don't get all butt hurt. You're included.
Can't eat out.
Have a real person in relationship (sorry no dolls)
Must stay for the ceremony (1 week, your accommodations)
No ketchup and mayo packets in truck.
List goes on...

I say let the van drivers be apart of the voting also. I believe that most carriers are now allowing non CDL holders to drive vans and sprinters.

Bolt Express
Try Hours
Panther
PTL
Load 1

Are a few of the ones that don't require CDL. An expediter is someone who transports something to a place as quick as possible. I feel that everyone should be able to be nominated, but who am I to say anything? I just think it should be fair to all drivers, van, sprinter, straight truck and tractor trailer.
