Make sure to get the Tanker endorsement. Also get Doubles/Triples. They are just computer test questions and a small fee. They never expire or need to be renewed. Tanker is required for some freight that is put inside vans/reefers and on flatbed trailers. Tanker IS NOT just for pulling liquid tanker trailers. If you get every endorsement you can haul all freight. All of the endorsement tests are available online. I use TruckerCountry.com. You can practice all of hem online.

There is almost no chance you can bring your dog with you during the period after you get your CDL and while you are riding with a trainer at the first employer. You might get lucky, but it's very unlikely. Having my dog with me was the best, but training it hard enough with 2 adults sharing the tiny space of a truck. You may have to find a place for your dog during the several weeks you ride with your trainer until you get your own solo truck. A few bigger companies won't let you carry a pet or a rider for your first 90 days solo in your truck. But once you are good to go and solo having your dog with you is awesome.

Thank you so much I didn’t know it was that simple to I get the right endorsements at all. And yeah I figured that would be after I’m already in and stuck in some OTR contract. Bbt due to the responses So far maybe I cannot start out local! And aww , yay ! That’s awesome. That will be the day all my dreams come true that my boy is with me while I’m working !

Where in Ohio are you? That determines a lot as far as what’s in your area. Use the link below to find government approved schools.

Training Provider Registry

Some of the franchised schools have contracts with mega carriers, and if you qualify, the training is free, plus you have a job the second you graduate.

Before going directly to any of the carriers that have schools, consider applying for the WIOA program that I think Obama started. You apply for it through Ohio. They will pay for your CDL training allowing you to go to any school that you want.

Ohio is actually a really good location for driver jobs. You might be able to find something local or regional that pays good money. Even with the mega carriers, they’ll have options in Ohio.

Not sure if Western Dairy Transport allows a pet.

Dutch Maid Logistics allows a pet.
Training is in Willard, Ohio.
The school is new and not showing on the website yet, so call and ask.
Don't think they pay while in school though. Pay would start at graduation.

Thank you !!!!!!!!! I’m located in Akron! And you are right about the many driver jobs Non-CDL and CDL. I actually just got hired in yesterday right after posting this for an Non-CDL OTR Field Transportation Specialist. I’ve never been on the road and I’m freaking out lol . Can’t believe I’m gonna be out myself. It pays craaazy good , $60 Per Diem , $100 a month towards phone bill , free full benefits I asked if the address was heaven lmaooo and free hotel stays. I’ll be picking up/delivering large medical equipment I’m used to packages up to 150lbs from FedEx thank goodness. But apparently they send me out with a whole fork lift !!?? No hard labor for me finalllly . I’m super excited. Will be nice to get that OTR feel as I decide on a school. I feel like it’s quite the rare opportunity.

Dutch Maid Logistics would be a really good company for someone who lives in Akron. The company is about 1-1/2 hours away on US-224. I have been there for quite awhile now and I really enjoy working there. It's not a perfect company, but it's not a place where a driver is looking to jump ship after a few months.
