    None worth a darn, but that is probably because I'm biased!

    Read your earlier posts - many respects for getting a career path going so early! Your ambition will serve you well.

    Good luck, I look forward to your journey.
     
    SHOJim Thanks this.

    Maybe consider looking into Pell Grants or student loans? Am attending Baker College's truck driving school and financed it with loans...Everyone qualifies for student loans. It's a 6 month course however it's very thorough. Good Luck!

    I got CDL myself for $800, just rented a truck and did the test. My brother in law spent I think 4-5k on the school. We both did not know crap when we got our licenses and had to be trained on the job anyways. The question is, why pay more?

    I was under the impression you cannot get a CDL unless you are 21 years old. Am I wrong? Or is Michigan one of those states that only allow you to drive a commercial vehicle within the state if you are under 21?
