    I would like an extensive list of trucking companies that will train you to get your class A CDL in the United States. Also do these companies pay you fees to come to there school? Any companies would help as my state is pretty much shut down with trucking schools. Also there's a change in plans and I'm going to Florida so any schools in that area also could be helpful

    Florida is a difficult place in trucking.

    You might as well resign yourself to eveything being closed for Covid19. This will be a while. Weeks, months who knows.

    ALL 18 wheeler and skills testing is canceled here in Arkansas until At LEAST 5/18/20 It is the second extension of the original closure. So If I wanted to get that Permit or cdl its not possible.

    Why is Florida a difficult place in trucking? It has the 3rd largest population in the United States surely there must a huge need for it there

    Florida is a great place for refrigerated trucking.
    Maybe not for owner-operators, but it is for company drivers.

    A huge population of people doesn't mean jack. There's no manufacturing there. Easy to get in, hard to get out.

    Florida is a terrible place to be a truck driver. Lots of companies won't hire FL residents.

    This is true. A company driver doesn't have to worry about the rate or what the load pays. Just gets paid per mile to drive.
