Want to get CDL but no money for school!!!

Is there any good companies out there that will hire you and train you and help you get your CDL ?
And I'm dyslexic I struggle with reading and writing but I'm not illiterate Will that cause problems for me ?

 

Where do u live if we know the area you live in it will help and as far as the dyslexia i dont think that will really be a problem im just a country boy and i struggle with bigger words but if you can read smaller words you will do fine im not that familiar with dyslexia honestly hope i dont offend you by all means

 

I live in Port St. Lucie Florida

 

I drive for millis transfer and I went through there school in eden nc and its 500 upfront and then 20 dollars a week out of your pay check for school and they are a real good company i love it here and we have drivers thays been here for 15 20 years we have a school in Cartersville Georgia its just north of Atlanta and we have freight that goes to Florida i just went to Jacksonville last week and turned down a load a few weeks ago goin to daytona Florida

 

Check out the LTL carriers in your area. Some of them have a driver trainee program. You'd work the dock and shuffle trailers around the yard until you get your CDL...then go to driver. You'd be collecting a salary while you learn the trade...and you'd get your CDL for the price of on the house.

 

Earl Henderson Trucking Co. has a good program and furnishes hotel room and 3 meals a day.
They give you a bus ticket to get to the school in Illinois.

Take a bunch of Ramen Noodles and instant coffee to carry in the truck until your paychecks start. Microwave use is free in truckstops.

What is the total cost, time and obligation for Millis' program?

 

You need $500.00 up front plus license fees. Don't know about meals or lodging.

 

Ok. And then they take 80 a month for how long? How long are you obligated to work for them or pay full price? What is full price of training? Do they offer a discounted price if you pay more than 500 upfront costs?

 

You could always just ask them......
