There's no regulations on how much you actually need to spend sleeping, although you do need to use good judgment in that arena. A CDL driver does a morning pre-trip. From that point, they have 14 hours to complete all of their driving. Within that 14 hour period, they are permitted to drive for 11 hours, after which, they are required to take a 10 hour break.
If you need to earn your CDL for your job, the best thing that you can do is to attend a CDL training school. By attending one of the many CDL training schools, you can learn the basics of driving a truck. A CDL school will teach you the most important things that you will need to know to pass the CDL test. You will also get plenty of hours of practice driving a truck.
Yes, you will need insurance to drive with a CDL license.
It varies by state, the best thing to do would be to check with your local DMV and see what they say. You can also see what your state requires online.
Yes you do need a CDL License to drive a bucket truck.
For a non-CDL holder there is no legal restriction on the number of hours. Just be sure to pace yourself and don't run the risk of falling asleep at the wheel. For CDL holders I believe the maximum number of hours you can have logged is 10 hours, and then you are required to be "off-the-book" for at least 8 hours before you can drive again.
You will need a Class B CDL with tanker endorsement.
You can repo without one. You only need a CDL if you're going to be operating vehicles or combinations which would require a CDL in normal operation. So, if you're repossessing Class 8 trucks, you'd need a CDL. If you're just repossessing a passenger car, you wouldn't need it.
Exactly the same as you can without the hazmat. 11 hours, after which, you're required to take a ten hour break.
You can only hold one CDL, so there's no need to pluralize it. Any bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver), you need a CDL with a passenger endorsement.
If the vehicle requires a CDL in service, it'll require a CDL for the test drive.
It's the same throughout the United States. 11 hours, then a mandatory 10 hour break.
Yes. To have an active CDL, you need a current DOT physical, always.
