Orlando female newbie looking for training company advice

Hey Flagirl - Be sure to check with your local community college as well. You could qualify for financial tuition as well. I am currently in Sage trucking school that is partnered with my local community college. I looked long and hard at different options and for me, paying my own way was the way to go. Now applying to various starter companies heeding Chinatown and others' guidance with which companies to go with. Ya'll have been invaluable to me in the past 6 months. Too many of ya'll to name but just know if you contribute to these boards regularly - you made me laugh, think and provided tons of advice. Much love.

 

Jim Palmer is Wilson logitc now and I work for them. Prime is the load we carry .. Prime is a big company . if have any question about them just ask I am new and been on my own for 6 months

 

Tyson Foods out of Springdale Arkansas, they haul beef, pork, chicken, and frozen foods to and from all 48 states.
I believe that they still take graduates from CDL schools, but do not have a school of their own.

Good luck to you. God bless you and your family.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

 

Who did you talk to at Jim Palmer? That is Odd, they are a TRAINING institute wonder if they found something on your background. I feel there is something we aren't being told. Do you have a clean driving record? Clean Criminal Background? I called Jim Palmer spent 5 mins on the phone they ran back ground and MVR and I was accepted as a student....So someone some where is not giving full story...NOT SAYING It's YOU but somewhere something isn't being passed to us

This is the WIA that people are talking about. If you qualify your CDL training would be free. Check out Mid Florida Tech which is now Orange Technical College. They have an 8 week CDL program which many have said is VERY good.
