I'm all about saving the money, but make sure you don't get sucked into a CDL mill.
-
thanks i have the money to go to school i just want to fine the right
school and see if i can find the right job that is local i have to watch my
kids at night so i must be home and what is a cdl mill thank mike -
CDL mill is a school who's whole purpose is to people in and out as fast as possible. BAD IDEA.
A good school is AT LEAST three weeks long, Monday-Friday.
If you read a lot on this forum you'll learn a lot real fast. There is a lot of bias though. Haha. But if a lot of people are saying it, chances are it's true. -
Also, take a look here: http://www.truckschoolsusa.com/EditorsChoice.htm
I don't know if any of them are near you, but those are top-of-the-line schools. Also, to the left there's links you can click on to find trucking schools in your state. -
thank you for the info

Yeah, I think about everyone around here would like that. The problem I ran into is that nobody will even consider looking at a new Class A holder that does not have at least 1 year Over The Road experience. In looking around locally (Georgia) nobody would consider me and I have 3 years Regional experience a few years back (92-95). Hopefully for you the 15 years will make a difference. Good luck -
driving for 15 yrs know i do love driving the small trucks but there is no
money in it this job out here are only paying like $ 15.00 to $ 18.00 hr
in todays world you can not live on it thanks mike -
Yeah in NY that's not at all with ya'lls high cost of living up there. Wish I could find one around that pay scale in Ga. That would be a decent living, wouldn't get me rich but would keep me around here instead of OTR. -
moving out to c.t. it will cost lest to live out there i did find a job out
there for a class a starting at $ 65,000 but they want you drive at
night the start time was 5 pm and work for 10 hrs if i do that i would
have to get some one to watch my kids something to think about
