I Need Help Getting Sponsored For CDL School (Fontana, CA)

Waiting is pretty much going to be the norm at any school. An independent school isn't going to be able to dedicate a trainer and truck to one student and make a profit.

Besides, the purpose of school is to teach you to pass the test. Learning to drive happens when you're on the road with a trainer and every day after that.

 

^^^^^yes^^^^

 

Not when you choose a good private school. One that actually cares about the product they are turning out.

the school i went to back in the day taught us everything we needed to pass the test, plus a lot about how to drive the truck properly.

 

I got a grant for truck driving school in AL because I was unemployed for a few years. Don’t know if CA has them or not but it’s worth looking into. Only things I had to pay for were the physical and the learners permit iirc. Edit: this was for a community college truck driving course that was in the 2-3000$ range. I don’t think they had anything for the private stand alone truck driving schools that are much more expensive.

 

I was also unemployed for awhile found a grant through the state unemployment agency, took a course through the local college which was like 2 months long and was the best thing I had done. Didn't want to do one of those fly by night truck schools that just teaches you enough to pass the test, I learned a lot while I was there, and the state picked up the whole tab, it was like $5,000 I believe. Got all the endorsements, paid for background check and even bought me a nice pair of work boots. Hired on with Schneider for a year then got a local gig, home every night, weekends off, good pay. That was like 9 years ago.
