CDL School vs Self Taught...

But I would imagine that, say, Swift or C.R. England would take a self trained driver, you stay with them for a year and most companies will then hire you. I would assume the company would still do some training but not cost you $7000. I just am hauling wheat and fertilizer for now so I wouldn't know.

 

Not if you use your brain. If you take your time and think about the consequences of potential actions taken in potential incidents and actually try to learn from veterans either in person or online, you are a safer driver than most cdl grads and many veterans. In my life experience you rarely to never get in trouble while using your God given brain. Its there for a reason.

 

No wonder there's so many bad drivers. If all I have to do is get a paper signed by a non professional teacher to get a job over an actually smart, safe driver, that's just sad. Your actions and personality and history should decide, not a paper. Not to say CDL School is worthless, just overrated. And you'd be surprised what you can find on google.

 

No need for insulting. As someone else said, it isn't even a technical profession. Just because I may have a paper saying that my Mom taught me how to wipe my butt doesn't mean I do it better than most people

 

Sorry, I'm Minnesotan.

 

But so far, all I have seen is that employers think papers anyone can aquire are automatically better than a good naturally instinctive driver as pros and cons. Not to say every self taught person is a natural Anything else?

Sorry if I seem arrogant, I'm a natural debater. It comes off as arrogance sometimes.
