    Hey all! Been reading on here for about the past month. Never have drove before, but have been in and around trucks at different times. I was a helper on a household mover when I was 21. Sometimes it was hard work, but that just builds character.....right? Also worked at a company for many years and had the opportunity to dock company trailers from time to time. The thing is now I'm looking for new employment. Keep coming back to the idea of driving. Just wanted to say "hey" to all here, and that I really enjoy reading the posts on this forum.

    There's several college CDL schools in East Tennessee which are real cheap. Some have financial assistance.This is a good route to go because you will have dozens of companies to choose from and can submit applications the first day of school. Get all the endorsements, passport, TWIC card. At the top of this page, click on "CDL Practice Tests" to get started.

    RE West and Milan Express are Tennessee based companies with their own CDL school. RE West is free and no contract to sign. Milan Express is $2995.00 and will finance. Millis Transfer costs you $500.00 and the rest is free is you stay a year.

    Lots of good deals out there.
