Need to get started.

I don't know that there is a cheap way. You pay either one way or the other. Funding your own school is best in my opinion. If you let a company pay for it you will have to work for them until your debt is paid off. Your driving background won't help you much as far as getting a OTR job.

 

Get your CDL on your own and enjoy freedom of choice!!!

 

i guess he took the original advice. he's been gone 11 months.

 

Yep, head to a truck driving school that isn't operated by a company and you won't be handcuffed to them for any period of time. A lot of them will reimburse your tuition anyway.

 

Hi steve the best way to go about it would be on your own i did and know i have freedom to go where i want.The totall cost is around five thousand most schools will finance you. But if u can't afford it you can go to a company i went to crst like i said i got it on my own and am not contracted but i hear there school is good they pay for your schooling and you will be contracted with them for 8 months and you will only get 22 cents a mile if not contracted you get 33 cents wich is not bad for just starting out.check out crst and if you decide to go with them please give them my referal #945f but whatever you dicide good luck and be safe.
