Gotta couple questions.

Recommend you get trained for refrigerated trucking, due to current economy situation.
Be prepared for urine and hair follicle drug tests.
Aren't there programs available for coal miners that lose their jobs, to get free cdl training from private schools?
We can give you names of refrigerated trucking companies that offer cdl training.

 

One way to start preparing for trucking is to scroll to top of this page and click on "CDL Practice Tests" and memorize the answers to as many questions as you can. Those questions and answers are the same ones you'll have to know to get your CDL Permit at the DMV before starting cdl school.

 

Trucking company cdl schools will provide transportation to get to the school, then provide meals and lodging while attending school.

HAve enough money on hand to get yourself home if you go to orientation. They kick people out all the time.

 

Most of the companies are about the same, you'll be overworked and underpaid, but trucking is a great career, you put the time in and prive yourself as one of the best and you'll never have to worry about finding a job. If you can, pay for your cdl school yourself, and then find someone to hire you, but if not, PAM/ driver solutions has a school in Indianapolis, that's how I started.
