1. Attention employers: We now require a valid DOT# for anyone wishing to post a driving position. If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.

    you're going to need to get a license before you can get a job. Nobody will hire you with just a permit.

    My suggestion, since you state you're low on funds, sign on to one of the starter companies who will pay for your training for you. You need to drive for them for at least 1 year, but the training is paid for.
    Check with Prime, Swift, US Express etc. See if they have paid CDL training. I know Swift does. Looks like on their website they have a terminal in Ocala FL and Atlanta. I think Atlanta is where they do training, but again, I'm not sure. Go to http://www.swifttruckingjobs.com/index.php and check for more information.
