CDLLife Reviews

by Rachelamanda020305

I’ve tried making several posts asking for advice as I am a relatively new CDL holder and would like to learn from the old schoolers. They have the wisdom and I know that I don’t know jack squat.
Each and every post I make gets removed immediately.
I’ve emailed through the contact us portion multiple times trying to find out why my posts are being removed immediately with no response.
Also, the navigation feature is absolutely worthless.

Use to be on CDLLife some. Was good to use but when I went to log in one day, it stated that I was banned. Sent email after email to find out why I was banned. Still no real reason why I was banned. The only thing I have received in a response was needed to send a copy of my drivers license front and back. Sorry but I am not sending a copy of my drivers license. I have had my cdl for close to 30 years and posted several pictures with me and the truck I drive.

there really should be a team handling hate speech, negativity, and threats on CDLLife. It can get very racist on here. From communists flags to pointing out the “industry is changing” based on races now driving.

When I tray post , CDLLife ask me for my CDL

I used to only use the GPS portion of CDLLife and it started out fine but then I began to notice that the directions would take me through No Truck zones. I have updated several times but the problem is still happening. Then, I began to read posts from the feed and then come to realize that many, and I do mean many, of the posts are heavy in racial bias if not downright racist, including those coming from the so-called moderator. Now, all is fair if both sides are able to express how they feel but any opposition to what’s posted seems to just disappear. I warn, those of you who is sick and tired of bigotry and racial divide, to stay far away from CDLLife. It’s funny that they have a GPS application because I could’ve sworn that GPS wasn’t around during the Civil War, which is where most of the comments seem to stem from. If I could give CDLLife negative stars, I would.

I was new to CDLLife recently when my email or Facebook account got hacked, and CDL banned me for life! 😱 Since then, I have sent them multiple emails trying to explain this to them, to which they have not replied. Since they don’t respond I have no clue as to what my hacked account did to get banned in the first place!

If they simply told me what my account did wrong then maybe I could figure out what happened, but they won’t even respond, so what do I do now?? 💁‍♀️

It’s a shame, because I was really enjoying CDLLife so far, and wanted to truly remain a part of it. As a female trucker, I thought I could bring some interesting insight and perspective at least, but they need to give a person the benefit of the doubt long enough to hear their side of things, right?💋🧐. PJR~

Just deleted app. Asking for photos of my license and a selfie? Sorry folks, sounds like a phishing scam.
Change my mind!
(Never had an app ask for anything other than a text or email verification)

Was a great app. A Awsome idea. Bring truckers together. Now just a ton of advertisement. Which is fine if the ads where beneficial to drivers.

by Prince Apal

While in principal, CDLLife sounds great, however it leave a lot to be desired.
The daily amount of Friend Requests are simply ridiculous solely based on the fact that there are hundreds of not thousands of catfish accounts here. If they could just rid them all or make it more difficult for them fake accounts to sign up to begin with, it would help.
The normal real drivers are funny and quite knowledgeable. Even for us veterans, it’s nice to see and hear different perspectives or share advice etc.

by Wickedpissah69

I really like CDLLife . Reason why I only gave it a 2 is because they don’t verify users. We have it bad enough out here and now CDL Life is getting flooded with catfish. They seriously need to start verifying accounts with the drivers CDL and company they drive for or something along those lines. It’s bad enough on Facebook and Instagram but now this?? Can truckers have just one place to go without the BS?!?!?!?! I hope they do something about it. A lot of drivers are getting tired of it and a lot of talk has been made about deleting accounts. So if it wasn’t for the catfish I would give it 5 stars.

Navigation is ok. It lags sometimes and even when you show up to your destination it doesn’t always recognize it.

So over the years this app has made some big improvements,
One for instance is verification for new users, which just make sense,, you would think it would weed out most , catfish phonies and wannabes. But some how they get verified.
Also I believe enforcement could be stepped up,, what I mean is , I care about CDLLife and have for years, but I’m not on as much as I use to be for the simple fact, it’s like a piece of crap FB page some times .
And yea I try too help and report,racism (and there’s no excuse for it being on here) just the simple fact if those that use the N word should be banned,,,fake news, and catfish ETC.
There no change unless we make change.

It would also be nice if there was some kind of common courtesy from this app even if they don’t agree with suggestions,especially when correspondence and emails are sent, with no response whatsoever.

CDLLife would be much better if it were actually about trucking but the majority of post on here are either political or religious two things you should never talk about with others because it leaves to many arguments. I understand freedom of speech but there is a lot of hate speech on here and a lot of racist post that they don’t address. Wish they had a app that was only trucking that’s all

by Txtruckdriver74

First, only gave 4 stars because there are a few minor quirks....

Now, I haven’t used the routing portion, but have used the truck stop finder a few times and it works pretty good. My only complaint is I wish the truck stops would be grouped together, the shops, the stores, etc on the tab to select what icons appear on map.

The “social media” aspect is great. We are truck drivers and like to speak our voice... we do not like to be told what we can/can not say/post... it is the internet, so there are trolls, but, this app does actively monitor and remove them... it also has the means to private message another user, which at the same time, has the ability to block users....

It has a job posting section... but I haven’t checked it out yet...

All in all, a great app!! And by far better than the competitor (I won’t name)

Great app for trucking news and concerns. I like that it allows a mix of experienced and not so experienced drivers to engage in good conversation. A great tool for any driver. Truck routing is another great tool of CDLLife. The only thing is the cat fishing but I suppose that’s on any social media app. The administrators are great and do converse with us which helps to keep CDLLife updated and fix any bugs. I’ve tried others and this is the best by far....

by Godsok

Way to many lot lizards! They kick real truck drivers off and let the prostitution and scammers take over. I been getting 15 to 20 requests a day. It’s out of control. Not sure what there doing it used to be a great app.

by Jjjhgfdyj

What I don’t like about is women that are not driver, is posting pictures of them self. My point of view is they are trying to pick up men on this page which to me it’s inappropriate. As women driver it’s degrading to us..because as is already is men think us women driver shouldn’t be driving a truck and when you have some women post a selfish of her self in a sexual way.. it just not right because men will see us that way.. we driving the same reasons is doing it . To have a better life for out family

CDLLife is easy to use and as safe as any social media site can be. Verification of ID not CDL allows people interested in learning about trucking to ask questions from experienced drivers. Most members are professional and polite and friendly. There will be some people who disagree with opinions, it's not a censored site but most people act like adults. It does get graphic and political and npc at times with a teneral leaning on conservstive views but no one is banned for their views. The driver tool features of CDLLife are worth downloading even if you prefer not to be socially interactive. Their are options to censor your own feed and block the other members who annoy you. One feature that would be a nice improvement is the ability to start groups and have private status on your profile so only visible to friends and groups without restriction to rest of site. Careful if you are an internet junkey this one can be addictive.

CDLLife is wonderful. Period. Great community!

by Lil' Boy🤓

everything is good on this this app app. although the map is outstanding and updated with the exception of you can’t see the 3 circles on the right that controls the volume, direction and zoom when it’s white back ground. you can only see it in night time mode. also if y’all can allow us to switch night time mode manually verse it doing it automatic that would be great 👍. also can y’all add a speed indicator like how google or waze that would be great also 👍

by ReginaldSCox

CDLLife will not install on my phone because it will not allow me to update to my current email address. I’d like to try CDLLife but I can’t figure out how to get it to install due to an old email in the system.

by Martinbarley

Don’t bother downloading CDLLife if you are not an over 40 white male driving a long nosed Pete giving the finger to everyone. The stories are good but you have a bunch of racist and bigoted drivers on there that don’t make it worth the data. Would have given it negative stars if I could

by Telliott67

The updated version is ok but it still freezes up and it posts a comment twice also try and search for an article you won’t be able to find it

by Shores4now

The very first time I tried using the map feature for a truck it routed me through a town where no trucks haven’t been allowed for years. Be weary if using for turn by turn directions

by 3a Tow Operator

First the notification “bell” dims all notifications when only one is opened.
Otherwise some really fine people chime in daily, some serious some funny, if you have a CDL and you’re not here, you are missing out on a good laugh or a good comment or even a picture

by Gman48innc

I really like how the drivers communicate with each other. I haven’t really seen a lot of condescending comments to each other and it’s refreshing to meet new people that we network with

by KLewis1966

CDLLife does have some quirks that will get on and out as it goes. It is a great place for driver community and camaraderie! The navigation and the job board are amazing also! I give it five stars because it’s been good for me!

by WSP

The newest update has a function for roadside service.... this came in very handy while broke down. You can call directly from CDLLife for help. Awesome!!

by Scrap Nasty.

Only been using for a month.. Seems like a great app. Used the trip planner/gps took me rite to where i needed to be with no problem..So far so good,Thanks to who ever designed it..

by Bill Crane

CDLLife actually has moderators actively engaged with the users and it's full of truckers for entertainment, family, and advice.

by Country_princess911

I love CDLLife . It’s a great way to keep in touch with other truckers. It’s helpful in planning trips, and finding parking.
