Hello everyone!
I am very interested in starting a career in trucking. Just had a few questions if anyone could please help me out....
I'd like to just study for the CDL test on my own and rent a truck for the test. That's obviously the cheaper way to go. Will I have a tough time finding my first job if I go that route? Do I need to just break down and go to trucking school?
If school is the best route to go, can anyone recommend a good place to apply that pays for the school? I don't mind signing a contract for a year or so if that's what I need to do.
I live on the west coast of Florida by the way if anyone can recommend a company that is good for newbies.
Thank you all!!!
Do I need school?

North Port is a good location.
I'll recommend 3 trucking company schools and can probably start within 7 - 14 days and have the cdl in 22 days or so. Be prepared for hair follicle drug test.
