    There seems to be confusion here. Was your school program 50hours total time or was it 50 hours behind the wheel? A school has to be 160 total hours classroom and driving combined to meet the requirments not 160 hours driving

    Sorry, it would be a cold day in the Philippines when I'd drive a truck with "Florida Beauty Express "on the door.

    Not me, I've never been unemployed my entire life and take what I can get at the time. It paid off too, now I don't have to work. Had some junk jobs though in the past to keep from being unemployed.

    I recommend to start applying to all the companies that offer training so you can gain your experience and go from there.

    I know a guy who was fresh out of school who made up a history of working for obsolete companies, imaginary companies, and companies that didn't require a CDL. It seemed to satisfy the desperate trucking companies (of which most are) and allow this fine man, right out the gate, to start a fairly good paying local job where he was home every night. He now works a very high paying trucking job. ;)

    many of the Eastern European companies in and around Chicago
    are famous for hiring Florida CDL grads
    one of these "schools" is a one day school whose instructors is are also the test givers
    This was confirmed to me by the head of maintenance for ES Express Lemont ILL

    FBE , from just what I've seen out here . . . I'll stop there.

    No wait. I'd fear for my life if I went there. Please don't go to FBE.
