    Hello, I have been considering trucking for a while cause I like driving and need the money. I was wondering if there are any women drivers out there in IL that could take me for a ride along so I can get a feel for what it's like. Since I'm a women, I would just feel more comfortable with a women driver. Thank you!

    Hello and Welcome to the Forum:)

    IMHO, I would suggest that you check with your local Community/Technical College's Truck Driver Training program. They would give you a tour and even allow you to talk with other students...

    Best of Luck!!!

    This should help:

    http://www.50states.com/cc/illinois.htm

    Ask about the WIA program. This is available funding for training, if you qualify.

    Best!

    Ok, so is that if you plan on taking college classes or is it a training program that doesn't require extra classes, just training? Thanks for answering all my questions!

    CDL training only.

    When you get into school, please start a thread under,"Trucking Schools", so that you can post about your experiences in training.


    Best of Luck!!!
