I have a hard time believing this story, but a renter I have says he now has his CDL after having it taken away probably over 10 to 15 years ago. He had a few log book problems and a couple OWI convictions. According to him he didn't even take a driving or written test to get it back. He says he did get a physical. If anything I thought getting a CDL was harder now than ever. His wife says he could be on the road with a load to California as early as next week. Something sounds fishy to me. I guess he has in possession his temporary paper license until his small plastic one comes. Were things relaxed to help with the semi driver shortage / supply chain issues? Is there such a thing as suspending your license and then getting it back years later without all of the testing? It wouldn't be the first time this guy has told a story. I don't think he is safe driving a car let alone an eighteen wheeler.
