I'll look into WIOA and CFI. Do you know if I can the grant with really bad credit? Like the worst thing you can get if you know what I mean. I live in Kill Devil Hills, NC and there is not much out here. The CDL school I'm looking at is Sage in Rocky Mount, about 3 hours from me. There's a community college but I don't think they offer CDL. After I get the CDL, if I can't get a decent job here I will move somewhere else on the east coast. Another thing that concerns me is learning the tractor trailer, the straight truck driving is easy, how much harder is it to learn tractor trailer?
CDL B vs HVAC?

You should still check in to the Community College; you might be surprised. I live in a small po'dunk town in Ohio and two of the 'cornering' county schools, 25 mins either way, have a weekend program.
Learning the t/t combo is a learning 'curve' .... how long is your straight truck? It's actually easier, to a degree. -
I can go uptown to the local supply house and buy a brand new unit, let's say a medium line unit, for around 800 bucks. I then can install said unit, in one day 95 percent of the time, on your home and I'll charge you 6500 bucks. It'll take me 8 hours to do with minimal material.G13Tomcat Thanks this. -

Trucking was the way it worked for me; then again, what I got paid when I was first OTR ( i got grandfathered in with my dad's rig, and trash route, then 'had' to recert due to dang regs...)
is about what the starters are paying now.
I hear ya, Willie. However, if he doesn't feel his 'hands in the fan' wanting to do such, CDL might be a brave option.
On the final note, my wife's brother is the HVAC supervisor at Hofstra University, in NY. Worked his way up. All FOUR of his kids got 4 years free, and he banks a bunch.
Just depends, on many many factors. Were I still in HVAC, at 54, ....it'd be painful; no pun intened, once again!
Be safe, guys.
Best wishes either way, OP!

It's something about a Big Cam Cummins, some straight pipes and a nice heavy load in on the hopper well just does something to a man lolG13Tomcat Thanks this. -
I'm not military, but Kudos to you, and thank you. My dad and brothers went that route, I got left at home to take care of the farm, the trash route, and my mom.
