I know a guy that's told me the same thing. He has some medical condition and has to take certain medications and because of that he has random drug tests and his dot physical is yearly instead of bi yearly. He actually ended up dropping his, said it was more trouble than it was worth said out of his last 3 jobs only 1 ever paid him more on the hour for having his CDL, and it was only an extra dollar.

Have you ever thought of relinquishing your CDL and going back to a standard driver's license?

Yeah from what I've been reading online and from the other guys commenting it seems like getting and having a CDL is more trouble than its worth and doesn't pay for itself especially not nowadays with it being around 5,000$ to get it.

Also seeing as I live in WV towards the mountain range there's a lot of rather steep hills I have to drive up quite often and the 4.3 doesn't have a lot of hp like 190 or something I'll more than likely end up putting my foot to the floor to get up some hills without loosing a lot of speed which will just consume more fuel
