    Does anyone know if these will take me to all 48 states as a first time driver? How about Mexico and Canada? I'm hoping they have regional options.

    All 48 states?

    Or regional options?

    Less filling? Tastes great?

    Chocolate? Vanilla? Strawberry? Or butter pecan? :eek:

    Regular? Spearmint? Or wintergreen? :rolleyes:

    You need a dartboard for Xmas! :p :D

    It's hard to imagine an easier job than driving for USPS or a USPS contractor. Unfortunately for you, they typically require 12 months' experience.

    Huh? I'm just saying hopefully some of these companies will not take me too far away from California for too long for that first year. Does anyone know?

    For too long?

    Just to clarify -- do specify how long is...."too long"...?

    Please -- no answer(s) that are too long. :p :D

    I know we get all excited and the driving schools are not going to discourage you from driving even if they do know the industry is going through a rough patch right now. Bottom line is life goes on regardless of the current economic situation, these tend to go through cycles a bit like the biblical example of Joseph interpreting Pharah of Egypt dream there'd be 7 good years followed by 7 bad years. He advised the ruler of Egypt to prepare for the bad times in advance this is something very few of us seldom do, if we take out a car loan or a mortgage on a house, do we consider what happens if interest rates were to go higher? So to with paying for tuition for a CDL we need to do our due diligence what are my job prospects once I graduate? Which is why under these current conditions in the industry I'd be choosing to go through a company paid driver training program that way you've got some guarantee of work. Its to late for that though, but for any future candidates think carefully before coughing up the money for training, as some have advised don't give up if this is your goal, keep on knocking and eventually a door will open for you. :cool:

    "Its to late for that though"

    It's too late for what?
