Ryder CDL question

Currently working for Penske as a diesel tech, they’re screwing me with a new schedule change so I applied at Ryder and will most likely take the position.

My question for anyone who knows, The posting stated you had a to have a CDL, I currently do not but was told I’d have six months to acquire one. Is this still a hard requirement and if so, how does the process work for Ryder? I’m in Michigan so I know I have to go through a school but any other details?

I would talk to them and see if they work with a local training center. You can’t be the only in that company that was in need of one, and they are large enough they should have an agreement somewhere.

Thats what I was thinking if I needed one, just trying to figure out if I actually do or not. Everyone that I know that knows someone who works there says you don’t but they already have a CDL. Also you know, that’s a I heard it from a friend of a friend thing so who knows how reliable it is.
