    It's funny you say that, I have that company up here on my tabs. I was just confused about the requirements.
    they said "you need a cdl and 1 year minimum of experience". On the main site it say's "We have a special offer for driver training" So that confused me.

    Nah get your permit they train and don't hear complaints. Also search for recent posts.

    I heard a permit from a different state doesn't apply in the state your getting your license. For example,
    Florida cdl permit doesn't apply in georgia? If i were to go take my cdl test in georgia.

    I don't really get why you just don't drive for your dad.
    Seems he could teach you
    And then your friend could drive too.
    Oh wait, I just remembered your dad is on this forum
    I just heard him slap his forehead.

    My dad's insurance requirements are 25 years of age or older. If i was 25 and had my cdl that would be great.
    Without our cdl's both me and my friend can't get work. Which is why we're looking for a situation in which companies pay for our training and we sign a contract with them for x amount of months.(If you don't stay for those months you pay whatever you owe them for the schooling)

    Florida Beauty Express and Carolina Cargo run teams and hire felons. Problem is they don't hire if you don't have a cdl.
    Try CRST for cdl training; they run teams coast to coast.
    Also try Carolina Logistics for cdl training.

    Thank you, The only other option is to go to cdl school than. Getting the permit is fairly easy. Getting the license isn't. I need some more experience behind the wheel to be able to pass that test.

    The state of Florida will pay for cdl school. They do this for the unemployed or under-employed. Check with the unemployment office.
