CDL Requirements. Employees whose positions require a valid State of 10 Ohio Commercial Driver’s License are required to possess and maintain such license with 11 proper and necessary endorsements.
CDL Requirements. Any driver whose CDL is suspended or revoked will be placed on leave without pay or benefits until the certification is reinstated. If the license is not reinstated within twelve (12) months the employee shall be considered terminated from employment. If the suspension or revocation is for the reason of illness or disability, then the leave shall be in accordance with state law.
CDL Requirements. The Board shall pay for the costs associated with training and licensing of drivers for the new CDL requirements for one (1) licensing test and for necessary endorsements and renewal CDL licensing for pre-existing drivers. The Board shall pay for one road test. Additional road tests are at driver’s expense. The Board shall pay for costs associated with training and licensing of new drivers for the CDL requirements if they pass the pre-employment alcohol and controlled substance test.
CDL Requirements. All employees hired into all Mechanic and Yardmen job classifications after ratification of this Agreement, must maintain an A, B, or C level CDL. If hired without their CDL, such new hires shall be paid one (1) dollar per hour less than the starting rates and shall have ninety (90) days within which to acquire their CDL with endorsements. After ninety (90) days, those new hires with CDLs (and endorsements) will receive the additional $1 in pay and those without such credentials may be terminated in the event that the Employer determines that the new hire in question needs her CDL to perform the tasks of her employment. (Those new hires retained by the Company notwithstanding their failure to achieve a CDL shall not be required to attain one at any time thereafter to maintain their employment.) Those existing Mechanics who maintain a CDL with P & S endorsements and are 19-A qualified have additional compensation already included within their rate ($1 per hour). Mechanics who receive such additional compensation may not unreasonably refuse to perform driving services (Route or Charter) when requested by the Company. Those Mechanics employed by the Company as of the date of ratification of this Agreement who do not have CDLs shall be red circled and exempt from the requirements of this subparagraph 35.2, as well as any new hires referenced in the parenthetical above. By way of clarifying the preceding, the Parties agree that no mechanic hired prior to June 23, 2010 who does not have a CDL will, in the future, receive an increase in pay for obtaining their CDL. However, in the event the Company determines that it desires additional CDL mechanics from existing personnel that do not have CDLs, once opened up, those mechanics will receive an additional $1 per hour for obtaining a CDL, which shall be offered by seniority in each terminal.
