No need for trucking school

The only problem is good luck finding a job. Most require the school for insurance reasons. A few won't, but you are really limiting your choices for employment.

 

It will be hard to find a job with no school training behind you as notarps4me said. Why not just go to a company that offers training? sure some of them make you sighn a contract for a certain time you must stay with them, but you really should stay with your first company for a year anyways. This helps you learn the trucking Industry and helps you make the right decision where to go after that training company if you chose to do so.
just my 2 cents

 

as much as i hate to agree with monkey boy, i have to here. he is right. these companies look at training like it's gold for some odd reason. whatever you do stick with the first job for at least a year and try longer if you can...........

 

There are companies who will hire him, these guys must be talking about the bigger companies that's because most people only try to get hired at a big company, some of the smaller companies will hire him, I know many people who got their licence this way

 

Well most smaller companies as well require driver time behind the wheel. Most smaller companies have a harder time in getting insurance for new drivers. Not saying they all do because there are a few that will.

Larger companies insure themselves therefor they seem to have the lesser restrictions.

 

The last local small company that I worked for had one requirement. Two years recent CDL exp. Reason, insurance reasons.

 

There is another way to look at it. Without a school you have 2 strikes against you in a unforgiving industry.

 

Just curious as to where you are located Big Poppa? I'll need a plan B if I can't pass my skills test
