| Hey all. I finally found a forum that might be able to help with my problem. I have a criminal background problem but it's clean for four years now. I have my CDL class A permit (obtained through the state DMV). I have tried about 20 different companies and get the same story, " you need to go to a school, and have at least 1 year OTR exp.". Does anyone know of a company that could train me and help with the road test? I do have some driving experience as I drove a septic tank pump truck and tank hauler with a back hoe trailer as well as an International 4300 flatbed tow truck. Anyone with info please message me. |

| Welcome to the forum CBtalker! If you take the time to look through here you will find a lot of threads on trucking companies and schools. Most all of them have a lot of bad stuff written about them. Most of it is true. Unfortunately, that is how a lot of us have started out. You will likely be better off to find yourself a truck driving school through a local community college applied technology course. You will have to pay upfront (of course you can finance it) but when you are done with the school, then you can be picked up by some of the smaller trucking companies to get your first few months (to a few years) in. The problems with going to a company school is that they have you locked in on a contract for a certain length of time. If you don't fulfill your contract, then you will owe them very big bucks. While you are fulfilling your contract, you will be reamed, raped, screwed and basically molested. A lot of guys go this route, and most of them don't last. Of course many do. Good luck.
