So I get out of highschool next year and I'm thinking about joining the Marine Corps to get my CDL. Is that a good option or is there a better way to obtain my CDL?
Thinking about becoming a truck driver after I graduate next year.

My buddy was in the Marine corps and drove in the motor pool. He had to get a CDL when he got out, I don't know if things have changed but if they haven't you won't come out with a CDL.

Just go to a company that hires new drivers they will pay for you school or just go to school on your own and the school normally can get you a job but personally I would wait till I was 21 so you can drive out of state

Best of luck to you.Longarm, HoneyBadger67, LoneRanger and 3 others Thank this. -
Get your 20 in then worry about a 2nd act. At 38-40 there will be plenty of time left for you to learn to hate life trucking.
Numb, LoneRanger and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
Marines makes you a better person IMO. I was a lazy no drive person before the Marines. It’s more of a life lesson then anything. My buddy got his CDL before he got out. Marines paid for it. It’s something you got to do on your own time. He took a civilian course on his personal time. He was also motor T. You don’t have to do motor T.
Lepton1 and Christian H. Thank this. -
Or just drive local or within your state driving straight truck, work your way up to semi truck. Then when you turn 21 you’ll already have some experience when you get your CDL.
Lepton1 and Christian H. Thank this.
