Hi everyone,
My friend is a U.S. citizen and he recently got a request asking him to verify his CDL. We’re not sure if this is a standard process or if it could be something suspicious. Has anyone else received a CDL verification request recently? Who was it from, and what did they ask you to provide?

Thanks in advance.

A friend of mine is a U.S. citizen and recently received a request to verify his CDL. It looked official, but we’re trying to understand if this is something other drivers have been getting lately too. Has anyone here received a similar CDL verification request recently?
Was it from your employer, the state DMV, FMCSA, or another system? Not asking for legal advice - just trying to see if this is a normal process or something unusual/scam-related.

Appreciate any insight from drivers who have seen this before.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for an ergonomic office chair in the US, preferably with a mesh back and good adjustable lumbar support. I sit for long hours, and I need something that properly supports my lower back because I have sciatic nerve pain.

My budget is around $500, maybe $450–550 if the chair is really worth it.

I’m considering options like Steelcase, Herman Miller, Haworth, or any good refurbished chair, but I’m not sure which model would be best for back support.

What would you recommend? Also, are there any chairs I should avoid?

I’m about to start looking for my first trucking job and I’m trying not to make a bad first move . A company can sound good when you talk to a recruiter, but I know reality can be different once you’re actually in the truck. For drivers who’ve been through it, what should I really look at before choosing my first company? Home time, miles, training, pay, dispatch, equipment, reviews from other drivers? what matters the most?

Could be home time, miles, pay, equipment, dispatch, orientation, 1099/W2, or anything like that.
What were you told before you started, and what was the reality?
