    Why a job that pays under the table?

    CDL school does not hire you any more than a barber shop hires the people that come in for a hair cut. SOME CDL schools will tell EVERYONE they should come to CDL school because each student is a paying customer. The good CDL schools will look at your background, your driving record, drug screen, etc and turn away the potential students that will likely not be able to find a job after school.

    FIND THE JOB BEFORE YOU GO TO CDL SCHOOL.Meaning find the trucking company that will hire you with your background and then decide which CDL school that the trucking company recommends. You do not want to pay for CDL school and not be able to get a job in trucking.

    Update, I'm solo, Im getting 4200 miles a week I run seven days I love it, I've seen so much of the country an learned so much already.im staying safe. I only really stop when I do my 30 minute break but I usually do it when I go do my fuel solution the company has set up for us to stop at so I get good miles an I am showering them I'm going to run. I listen to audio books an my spiritual podcasts an Its actually kind of therapeutic driving at night. Alot of experience drivers give me good advice l. Like I do not hog the fuel lane an I learned properly courtesy at the truck stops. I stay out the way for the most part an I'm going to continue to show this company consistency to get my experience up. My life has truly changed thanks again for the advice an referrals

    I admire your commitment and enthusiasm, but I don't know how sustainable that is. It's important to find time for some self-care. Sitting all day every day, especially combined with limited food options on the road, is not a healthy lifestyle over the long term. This will spill over from physical health to emotional and even mental health eventually. Take the time to go for a walk or a jog, do some stretches or yoga poses, maybe a set of burpees or whatever works for you. You're in this for the long haul, so to speak, and you won't make it if you don't take care of yourself. All the best!
