    are there companies that will train you for your cdl, they just take a percentage out of your pay check? if so, does anyone know a name of these companies?

    Yes there are companies that will do that and a lot of them. Another option is to look at your local colleges they offer this training a lot of times as well and you can get it paid for by grants sometimes so you don't have ot be stuck to one company after your schooling.

    The very best way to become a truck driver with no money is to fall for the BS you see from the CR Englands, Werners, Stevens, etc. You will become a driver and have no money.
    Get with community college in your area. Check with Work Force in you state. Lots of free money to go to reputable school and not be on the hook to some bunch of azzhats trying to force you to lease/or buy their equipment for them all the while promising you the sky. If it was 1/2 as good as they say they would not be constantly looking for new sucker/employees. Good companies hang on to good people. S#@t companies grind em' up and spit them out.

    I got my CDL for $free. fifty free! I got mine one piece at a time and it didn'tcost me a dime! No, not really but I did get away with mine for nothing while under a contract at Prime. Probably can't get away with it now but then again thing's happens and times change and possibly so could the fuel mileage average.
