The school preps you for your CDL and some basic safety tips. You will just know enough to be dangerous. The co you go to will pair you with a trainer until you are safe enough not to kill you or me. Or they should anyway.....

I checked into the state "career center." They offfered to pay for my schooling. I can do the 3 week class and they will pay. Or I can do the 3 month class at Nasvhille Tech. I am on the list at Nashville Tech. They only take 8 students per semester. I have no idea where I am on the list.

Are there any driving jobs up that way???? Right now there are alot of drivers looking for work, that doesn't exist......Just trying to warn you, good luck..

Take the 3 week class but make sure they have you lined up with a company and what ever you do dont go to work for Swift. -
Swift is a good place to start. You want to get the heck away from them after a year. But they are a good place to start.

Trucking is set up for you...
