Options Exhausted

I appreciate all the useful information everybody here has provided, and I will continue checking in to keep up with you.

At this point in time, I feel I have exhausted all the options I have regarding finding a company or trainer that will take me on. I wish each and every one of you the best, whether you are a seasoned driver or a newbie. Take care of yourselves out there on the roads and remember there is always somebody who cares and worries about each of you.

Thank you for letting me join in and get to know you. ~Hugs~

 

Mainly, I'm a female. Also, I don't have my CDL license, only my permit.

 

I went to Roadmaster. There were about 20 students at a time waiting on their turn to get in, do the skill, then get out of the truck, and wait for another hour or two for another chance.

Each week there were 10-12 students starting classes, and there were 2 instructors on the pad.

I went out with a friend for 3 weeks, and with minimal amount of time to practice, I was getting the offset down pretty good. Unfortunately, he can't train me, his company isn't a training company.

 

I can't afford Stevens at $6,000, when I already spent that much at Roadmaster. They haven't started asking for payments yet, but I'm sure they will. I haven't had a paycheck since the end of May, so I can't really afford to dig my hole that much deeper.

 

I've already checked in to the Class B; I don't have a truck to test in for that, and all the companies I've checked in to only take teams. I don't have anybody to team with. I would be ecstatic to get my B and drive Expedited. It has been suggested renting a Straight Truck with Air Brakes, but I can't find any place that will rent them. Everything I can find is Standard Brakes, non-CDL rentals. If you have any suggestions, I'd certainly appreciate them.
