    You can make better money In Iraq hauling crude oil working for someone else than hauling cheap freight with your own truck in the USA. There are opportunities here in this country, but I wouldn't jump right in to owning a truck without a thorough understanding of the niche you are trying to fill. Hauling oversize loads pays much better than hauling cheap freight. Plenty of companies are willing to train you for your cdl with a 1 year commitment to work for them. Conway is one of those companies.

    1 month . go to school . get learner permit . 3 weeks training . take driving test . go to work . I had to take a test to get into school . It was like a GED test . Do not know if all require this . I think it was just part of the school here in kansas . school should not cost more than 3500 . there are also programs from states that pay for it all that you may qualify for . here they pay baby sitting and gas money plus the tuition .

    by the way ... thanks for coming to America legally . hope you have a great life here .
