Just got out of college and made a mistake going to law school. I was looking into some driving schools but looks like your work history is part of the application. So far I've only worked at summer camp jobs, done some landscaping work, and done some office jobs/internships. I don't know if I'd be precluded from hiring or what by having a limited history - I think it's kind of stupid because I guess I showed reliability by sticking with my college and graduating with a 4 year degree. I'm going to ask some driving schools but here's my question - do you think my limited work history will make it difficult to get hired? What kind of places can you start? When my Dad was a kid he was able to drive trucks in the summer, it was a hell of a lot easier sounds like to get hired and he was 20. This world is just getting more and more difficult to live in.

trucking schools usually will be happy to take your money, regardless what field you were in or got near. the truck companies are the ones that care about your age, [24+] and the almighty contract. If you train with a trucking company, they train you after you sign a contract to drive for them, usually for 18 months or a year. I didn't want to get stuck in that.[I learned that here]
I am avoiding the company schools by using a little school in huntington park, southern calif. I passed thru there last november for the second time after getting my B a year before for a ready mix job. they charged me $ 800 to get my A. I had them class me in the truck every day the week before my DMV road test. their rate for school was 55 per hour and you could call it as to how many hours you wanted to buy. within 6 hours driving, the scratch was gone outta the stick shift. IH city tractors and a 32' dry box. easy. I never touched a curb or cone.
currently I have almost 7 months of local delivery exp [building materials], which has become difficult recently with the building slump. started as a semi+40' flattop w/fork in tow delivering block and cement bags. that stuff slithers off your truck and sucks.
I now drive a 4 year old pete truck/trailer roll off delivering wholesale lumber, teamsters. I got around seniority by accepting the roll off truck when my trainer retired. nobody else wanted to crank lumber off their truck [semi's+48' flattop sleds] as this exceeds their pay rate motivation, so they sit at home while I crank the wood off. the pay is low[13] .but I'm preparing my new wife to team with me this spring. she is going through this same school also.

I figure a limited work history is OK as long as you havent been bumming around... you have been studying, and working in between. That should be sufficient IMO.
