    That is a good idea. Some of the major LTL carriers might also work with you to get your CDL. Many start on the loading docks and work their way up to driving.

    It is great to hear that you know how to read a map. Many your age can't get along with a gps. You are welcome with the advice. If your friend's dad can teach you using his truck it will save you thousands of dollars in school costs. Some of the major carriers will require a certain amount of driving experience or proof that someone graduated from an approved driving school. Good luck.
