Get it on your own. Don't be an indentured servant.

 

Exactly, get your own. An alternative is to go to your local department of labor, if you're currently unemployed you should be able to qualify for a grant. Here's the deal...either you get the grant money OR the company that sponsors your training will get it. The difference is being a slave or not being a slave.

As far as microwaves and refrigerators, that should be the last of your worries. Buy a $5 polystyrene cooler and add ice. Or you can buy a 12 volt that will last a long time. Most companies don't offer those luxuries, especially the starter companies. Also, do your research and choose a company that actually has miles. A CDL does you no good if you're only going to make $300 a week.

Where do you live?

 

Good ideas. There's no point in paying thousands of dollars to get a job paying Walmart wages at one of these puppy mill mega carriers.....

 

Red flags all over this OP's post.

 

I thought the same thing, but figured I'd just stick to his questions

 

My advice would be to get your personal life in order before committing to an OTR lifestyle. I'm a recovering addict myself, and there are many temptations on the road. And you know as well as I do, it's easy to find trouble when you're looking for it.

I would recommend that you focus on your sobriety right now and the good jobs and luxuries in life will come only after you've gotten that stuff under control. If you try to take on too much too soon, one slip can be the end of your driving career for ever. Good luck with whatever you decide.
