Yes. FMCSR licencing requirements are determined by the vehicle - not who owns it. A CMV requires a licenced operator, whether they own the truck or not. The only instances where you don't need a CDL are when it's exempted from FMCSA regulation - for instance, registered farm vehicles, recreational vehicles and motorhomes, firefighting vehicles, and military vehicles. In these instances, states have jurisdiction over what their licencing requirements are for vehicles of this type.
To own one, no. To operate one, yes.
A CDL licenses give the driver the ability to operate 18 wheeled vehicles. CDL training schools teach their students proper driving and safety techniques before sending them out onto the road on their own.
A CDL I believe only covers the person who passed the test for it. Your workers need their own CDLs.
No. Motor homes are dangerously unregulated in this regard. Along with emergency vehicles, registered farm use vehicles, and military vehicles operated by military personnel, motor homes are exempt from CDL requirements, and states are given individual jurisdiction to determine their own licencing requirements. Some states may allow you to operate a large motor home on the same class of licence you would need to operate a passenger car. Some states may require non-CDL equivalents to the Class A, B, and C CDL licences.
You would have to explain what state your licence is from, and whether or not that's a restriction code. To drive a semi, you would need a Class A CDL (unless it's a registered farm vehicle, exempt from CDL requirements, in which case, your state is free to establish their own licencing requirements). I know in North Carolina, a "No tractor trailer" restriction on a Class A CDL was an "8" restriction. Taking a quick glance, I can see that 57 is a CDL restriction code in Tennessee. If TN is your state, then your answer would be no - 57 is the "except tractor-trailer" restriction code for that state.
If it's a truck which anyone else would be required to have a CDL to drive, then yes.
A commercial drivers license or CDL is required to drive semi trucks, tractor trailers, and eighteen-wheelers. Most companies will require a minimum amount of experience or graduation from a truck driving school. Each state has slightly different requirements for their CDL so make sure you check your own state's requirements.
Before you get a CDL, you will. You cannot legally operate any vehicle requiring a CDL on a public roadway without either holding the appropriate class of CDL (plus endorsement when necessary) or the appropriate class of CDL permit while being supervised by a licensed CDL holder.
You either need to provide your own vehicle or test at a facility that will rent you one.
The CDL program is reletively easy to get into, There is one company in your area that offers CDL courses, and they also own their own company that offers transportation so after training you could begin work with them it is called Amaral Company, you can locate them online they have numbers they can be reached at and qualitifcations for passing the CDL
A misdemeanor will not stop you from getting a cdl.
