Do you need a class A license to be a local delivery driver?

[Catatonic]

Just WTF is a 'chiquaqua'?

What you would spell chiwawa ... all the same.

 

[cosmo1]

The original spelling of Chihuahua.

Thank you so much for the clarification.

I should pass the scales one of these days. I bet we'd all be in for a surprise.

My first stop for many years was a chemical plant less than a quarter mile from the building. One day, the truck felt so doggy, I asked the guard if I could go through their scale. Turns out, I was almost 2000 pounds over weight.

You should have heard my supe when I called him and told him to come get a bunch of work off me.

yes, im in ontario, california

Ontario is in Cali.
Usually, Class A is all you need.
Class C or D vary by state - these are normally referred to Commercial Drivers License or CDL.
If you drive a large 24 foot van or a loaded out P-1000 Package Car.
The brown trucks are referred to as Package Cars.
The Tractor-Trailer vehicle combinations definitely require a CDL.

Don't mind these other goobers attacking you.
They are trying to make up for their inadequacies.
Scooby has a 1 inch appendage (for example). He dates a chiquaqua.

You got that backward.

Class D is usually all you need. In most states, if you have a license to drive a car, you can drive a package car. Anything under 26,500 lbs. A few states still require a Class C or equivalent to drive a package car.

Class A is a CDL.

You need a T endorsement on your Class A to drive doubles or triples.

Are you in Canada?

Canada wait time is like 2 minutes. None of our insiders want a driving job. Everyone gets hired off the street here

I still call the Package Cars trucks. Its not a car, its a truck. We call box trucks, furniture vans. Its a truck with a box on it, a box truck. Its not a van and we dont just haul furniture. None of our UPS terms make any sense. Lets say I was picking up a box truck from the dealer after a repair. If I walked in and said, "Hey is my furniture van ready to go?" They would have no idea what I was talking about.

All we ever needed was a Class D for anything other than feeders----and by the way as far as I'm concerned the package delivery vehicles are TRUCKS--always have been and always will be---no matter if UPS calls them cars or not. Pull up to a cop in your P-1000 and ask him a question about your "car". You will be talking a sobriety test shortly.

But, I drive past these guilt free knowing I'm in a package car.

 

[Indecisi0n]

Tell DMV you want the book for your class P for package car.

Any chance you could move on?
