How about some more details, then?
Someone with a CDL told me they were turned away for CDL jobs at "local" companies, eg, Conen's, Suisan.
They were able to find a job driving big trucks for a "non-local" company.
This job was not found by looking at classified ads; instead, they simply asked a driver of a big truck if their company was hiring drivers.
The CDL was, in fact, completely relevant; this person had moved here with a CDL as their "marketable skill".
Yes, in theory this is a case of "have certification or don't", but the local job market is a little warped, some reasons for which are noted above.
