Starting school in n.c.

I am in south Carolina, am soon to begin with Miller-motte technical college. Im know they have a few campuses in NC just don't know if they would be reachable for you.

4 week 40 hr a week program, or 8 week weekend program.

It's $4,000 but you can apply for W.I.A. which is basically money the government set aside for people returning to school, you go to the unemployment office and apply, take like 6 hours worth of classes over a week or so (resume writing stuff like that), then they pay the full cost of school and you go for free. This is probably apply to other community colleges near you.

 

It's not too early to start a list of companies to apply with. Submit applications the first week of CDL school. Lots of good companies out there and don't let the school push you for the ones they want. Some of the better ones you may not hear about in school.

 

Any particular type trucking you're interested in?
Do you want to see the country and run coast to coast?
Lots of that available and also lots of team jobs in NC doing west coast turnarounds.

 

First check with Old Dominion . They have their own school. It's free with a 9 month commitment. Then they pay you by the hour to come to school. If that is not a fit for you, I ask you make a list of companies you would like to work for . Then see if they will take students from the school you are looking at.

 

4000 , is high compared to many community colleges.
