I am confused about class A CDL's. I see several options ranging from 8 weeks to something called fast track. Some research says I dont need to take every test, like bus driving, etc. Just looking for some advice from experience as it is so easy to get ripped off and pay for more than I need.

In regards transport truck/trailer and cdl. I’m getting my cdl and was talking to a friend of mine that teaches there cdl class at the local college. He was telling me that in Texas we are supposed to have an fmca (federal motor carrier association) number and a Texas dmv transport number on our trucks. Even though we are just transporting the skid loader from job to job. Has anyone heard of this in Texas?

Has anyone ran into someone trying to get you to mulch an area they do not own? I was on onx looking at a property someone asked me to quote and the name first or last does not match the lead. Do you include that in your contract? Like “I (landowner give you permission to do work on said land”?

I've got a few jobs lined up, advertised before getting equipment, I have equipment and a way to get the machinery there. The only thing that is getting to me is what permits do I need, if any? Are there any limitations to what I do if I'm above a certain acreage?

I've gotten 27 leads over the last 2 weeks and I am seeing an unnerving trend: People who don't answer the phone or call/message me back even when I respond to their leads questions within 15 seconds. Why would someone go to the trouble of answering the questions if they won't answer the phone or respond to a message? Beyond frustrating. Is anyone else dealing with this? Thanks
