    Prime Inc. has their own cdl school.
    Prime Inc. is ok to get the career started. I think they still do just urine drug test. If you're a hard worker, can make a good living there; much more than you're making now for sure. Prime has refrigerated, tankers, flatbed.

    You should check into Income Based Repayment programs (IBR) for those student loans. My Wife has student loans that would be about $280 per month. Even with our income (about 60k per year) her student loan has been $0 per month for about the last 5 years. It is a government program but should be administered by whoever holds your loan. Very much worth checking into. Best wishes to you!

    The only real problem with driving is trying to get to a bathroom that can be a quarter mile away from where you park. Its like camping in a closet.

    Isn't IBR just for federal loans?

    I think so. I'm no expert on the subject. My Wife's student loans were Federal loans.

    Yup IBR is for Federal, the bulk of mine are private. My degree is in Biotech, plenty of high paying private research openings that pay a lot but all require PhD or Masters, also plenty of low paying technician openings that pay around what I already make, but not much in between.

    Should my regular driver's license be registered in the in Illinois if I want to go with one of the local companies or will they still hire me with a Florida ID?
     
    Truckermania Thanks this.

    Better ask companies about your license. Usually, your license will have to match your address. Unless it's changed, a trucking company school like Prime, you'll graduate with a Missouri cdl, then take that and the paperwork back to your home state and have the Missouri cdl switched to Florida or Illinois, whichever you want.
    Ask the companies you're interested in about that.
    If you go to FFE, use your Chicago address. You'll graduate with a Illinois cdl.

    Another one here in Phoenix is Supreme Oil, paying $100K per year and cannot find drivers.
