Earning a CDL

A Commercial Driver’s License or CDL demonstrates to carriers and employers that one is certified and a competent professional truck driver with specialized skills. There are two CDL license classifications.

A Class A CDL license is required for driving a truck and a trailer with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating that is a minimum of 26,001 pounds. The weight of the trailer must be a minimum of 10,000 pounds. A Class A CDL is required for careers for interstate and intrastate tractor trailer drivers. At H. O. Wolding, we have CDL Jobs in Wisconsin that offer long haul, regional, and dedicated services which require this kind of license.

A Class B CDL license is required for driving a truck with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating that is a minimum of 26,001 pounds. The weight of the trailer cannot be over 10,000 pounds. A Class B CDL is required for careers such as heavy truck and tractor-trailer drivers, those hauling specialty cargo, a dispatcher, and truck driver training instructor.

CDL Endorsements

Along with earning a CDL, there are also endorsements that can be earned. There are several CDL license Endorsements which can help those looking for CDL Jobs in Wisconsin to increase their salary potential.

An H Endorsement is required for carrying hazardous materials. An N Endorsement is required for operating tank vehicles. A T Endorsement enables the towing of double and triple trailers. These all require passing an additional written knowledge test.
