    I can understand that. If that's the case then I have a plan to get around that issue if I have to wait 90 or 180 days. As for the CDL school I attempted to apply for jobs after I received my permit and many companies told me that they were not hiring out of Florida right now and directed me to go to Roadmaster or local community colleges. There are around 3 in my local area that have CDL schools.

    Watch out -- be sure to check with any carrier you think you might start out with -- to verify your son can ride with you, WHILE YOU ARE ON A TRAINER'S TRUCK.

    My up-front guess is....that most of them will NOT.

    During that time period -- you may well have to make other arrangements....for your son.

    Before you invest -- investigate.

    Thanks!! Honestly at this point they are my number one choice to get started with. I used to do flatbed with my dad. He was a driver for over 30 years before he passed. I rode with him for a long time.

    10-4. I pretty much assumed that as well. I know when I am on my own that's a different story.
