    I would kind of lean tords a company that will pay for it I just got my first driving job and here is what I figured out 1 none of the insurance companies for the small ma and pa places will insure you for the first year got like 6 call backs like that they were happy to hire me but couldn't afford to 2 of the huge company's the only ones that will hire you want u on 2 to 4 weeks at a time and if you don't have 3 month on the road they will make u take there course anyway or at least make u ride with a trainer for like a month or 3 so and if u have a felony newer than 5 yrs Carolina cargo is the only company in America that will give u a job that first yr
