Do you know the actual definition of a Class A CDL combination ? Many get it wrong.

You need TWO things.

1- a trailer registered OVER 10,000 pounds. Empty or loaded does not matter.

2- a truck big enough so that when you add the registered weight of the truck and trailer TOGETHER…. they exceed 26,000 pounds.

Example 1 A 14,000 truck pulling a 12,000 trailer is not CDL. The trailer is over 10,000 but the two together is 26,000 pounds.

Example 2 A 26,000 truck pulling a 10,000 trailer. The total registered weight is at 36,000 but the trailer does not exceed 10,000. Non CDL.

Example 3 A 12,000 truck pulling a 15,000 trailer is Class A CDL. Trailer is over 10,000 and the combination is at 27,000.

I am now up to 279 people who have gotten their ELDT training through me. If you have an employer that wants you to get your CDL and is willing to help with your training, I can get you started without going to an expensive school.

I have done this for local governments both in and out of PA as well as numerous companies in 12 states.

My fall is busy but the rest of the summer is wide open and I do travel.

Just got done doing a 3 person ELDT class in New Oxford , PA. We did the theory , pre trip , skills and road training all in less than a week. This allows the company to do in- house training for the rest until they are ready to take their final test.

I am headed to New Freedom , PA Monday to do a class of 5 people getting their Class B license.

This week I am going to a fencing company to do a presentation about roadside DOT Inspections followed by a " hands on"...

This week I am going to a fencing company to do a presentation about roadside DOT Inspections followed by a " hands on" step by step Level 1 ( the most thorough) Level 1 DOT Inspection.

Yes, I am dusting off my creeper , putting on the coveralls and going to town on a class A combination. I suspect I will find a few things as I do ( and always have done) a very thorough inspection of all of the vehicle components.

Even if it isn't a violation YET...I still mention it as it will soon be there.
