Hello Truckers,
Hopefully this is in the right forum. Me and my wife are preparing for a new career in trucking and we would like some advise from those who know. When we start applying at companies we want to maximize our chances of being hired somewhere. Based on that, should we get our CDL's from the truck driving school down the road and then have zero experience, or should we just do the programs the companies have where they send you to their school to get your cdl? Logic tells me that doing the school prior and having the cdl already would maximise our chances but there is is a problem if we do that:
If we did the school down the road it would be done one of us at a time while the other works and pays bills. That would mean that there would be around half a year between when we got the cdl and then before we start applying. Does that matter?
Thank you,
Do we get our CDL before applying somewhere (Team)?
