Your age will not be a factor with pretty much any company you choose to drive for. I am driving for FFE (Frozen Food Express).

I have been with them for 2 years. And I was actually going to start dropping some resumes to some other companies, looking at getting into some specialized driving. But now that this virus nonsense is going on, I think I am going to hang out longer.

Reefers are known well for constant, steady freight regardless of what the market is doing. People will always need to eat and they will always donate plasma. Actually, since people get paid to donate for the company we contact with, work will probably pick up and increase as market tanks.

 

If your low income and meet the states low income requirements, Missouri will pay 100% of your CDL with no repayment required. I know several people in Springfield Mo that went through the program. One of the schools on their approved list is across the street from the Hoods truck stop on I44 exit 61. You can call the workforce or unemployment office.

 

I just looked back and saw this comment. I know several people that went through that Schools program Free because they income qualified. I don’t know if you meet those guidelines but if you do you can choose whatever Company you want to go to work for and not be obligated to anyone

 

SW Missouri? There are jobs in NW Arkansas. You can probably get $15 an hour there but not much more. Probably not a fun commute. Traffic isn't bad overall but there's a rush hour for sure.. Do you like to work nights?
