Options For My Situation - CDL A

Quick overview of my situation. I am looking to get my CDL A and was planning to go to a company sponsored program within the next month. However I have had a family situation come up that requires my attention for an indefinite amount of time and I don't feel it would be best to commit to a company program and then have to leave if something would come up.

So in an effort to move forward with getting a CDL I am considering a local CDL school, and then hopefully finding something local or even regional. Now I've done a fair bit of research and I'm getting the feeling that could be difficult without at least a year of experience.

I am simple looking for some advice regarding the best course of action I could take here and figured it couldn't hurt to reach out.

 

Thank you the response! I live a little east of Harrisburg, PA. Browsed through some jobs boards for the area. There is a few companies taking new grads. I think I will contact the school in the next week and go from there. I will be sure to get all the endorsements as well.

 

I used to work on the dock for A. Duie Pyle several years ago, didn't realize they had a program. I will definitely be looking into that. I'll put a list together of companies that potentially hire out of school and add those suggestions to it. Could save some time when the day comes. Again, I appreciate your input.
