    You can take your CDL test anytime. A formal education, community college, Truck driving school, none of that is required to test, or receive your CDL.

    Often the Community Colleges will have grants?

    So do you think I need to go back or study more and hit the DMV?

    It is advised to get educated before you drive a CMV, but paying a school for that education is not required. All you need is the booklet from the DOT/DMV and pass the written test for your probationary license and then learn how to drive and operate the vehicle. Take/pass your driving test.
    Many of us driving never had a formal school setting education. You might have a hard time finding OTR employment with out the formal education but it is not required by the states or the feds.
    Different era to start driving today. Good luck.

    Do you have a CDL now?
    If not, just get the CDL permit at the DMV then Millis Transfer in Eden, NC will hire you and put you through their training for $500.00 up front and the rest you work it out by driving.
    Drivers say they make over $50K there.
