    As long as you can pass the wriiten test, pre trip test, and the drive test you are good. Nothing says you have to go to a school. Now if you were going to drive tractor trailer, them some companies require amoint of hours ( usually 160 hrs) at an approved school.

    If I can pass the written/inspection part I should be able to pass the driving test. I've driven 1 ton trucks with 30-35 ft trailers more than I can remember the last 10 years. Much of it was Ag. Related. Seems my biggest hurdle is having the truck to take the driving test.

    Roehl Transport pays students going through their school $500.00 weekly, then at graduation you go to trainee pay, etc. Pretty good deal if you can pass the hair follicle test. I think they may hold back the first 3 weeks, then give it all to you on the third week. Can you hit up a credit union for a few hundred to get the family by until that first check?

    R.E. West Transportation in Lebanon has free cdl training and no contract to sign. Two weeks classroom/yard driving, then hit the road with a trainer.
