It requires a valid CDL A license with Doubles Endorsement and a clean driving record, reflecting the significant responsibility involved in managing large commercial vehicles safely. Additional requirements include a valid DOT health card, the ability to pass drug and background tests, and the physical capability to handle freight and operate equipment such as two-wheelers and lift gates.
