Having a driver's license is basically table stakes for having a job in the United States. There are exceptions if you live in dense areas with good public transit, or you can work from home.
- madars 3y agoCDL != regular driver's license. Does an average driver know how to operate air brakes or prevent jack-knifing or what to do with a runaway engine? Trucking is a highly specialized job and requires more aptitude than ordinary driving.
- vel0city 3y agoLoads of people with driver's licenses can barely operate a sedan. Passing a CDL exam and not constantly getting into accidents driving a massive truck is a completely different thing. Loads of drivers fret parallel parking. Imagine the difficulty of moving a 54' trailer perfectly straight into a bay at the bottom of a narrow ramp and not crushing anything in comparison to regular parallel parking.
