How do i get a DOT card in Georgia??

Hi ALL,

My hubbie is still driving the kiddies around and its driving him nuts! We've been looking for other jobs but no luck so far. I did find a staffing agency that seems to staff drivers but they said he must have a DOT card. Is it the same as his Highway Watch card? I know its a dumb question If its not how does he get one? He works as a county school bus driver and he has a CDL B with passenger and air brake endorsements. His driving record is excellent..no points no accidents, etc.

What do you guys think about him going to a technical school vs a trucking school to get his CDL A? (read some where that technical schools are offering CDL schooling)

Thanks to you all for the help

 

thanks brickman,

could he by chance have gotten one when he signed up to be a school driver..i know he did have a physical done before he began working. thanks again

 

oh ok ...i'll ask him in the morning..thanks you've been helpful

 

with tech longer..he'll have to go from April to Dec...definitely out of the question. he's 46 ..do you think he can start out as a new driver with a company? i know the schools are expensive ..we have no money.
