Dock to driver or 4week cdl school..

Got a brief question.. I just turned 21 and I am in a IDK what to do situation.. I just recently received a job offer to work as a inbound dock worker for Old domain.. and they are telling me after 6 months of working I can apply to the dock to driver program which would be my main goal.. but I’m scared I could be possibly be wasting my time if I take that opportunity and not go to a 4 week cdl school even though In both situations I will be testing for unrestricted license.. definitely down to here many opinions, on what route is more worth it .. goal is to be a P&D driver on either route i take .. and I’m based out of Tennessee..

#### appreciate the fast response..
my main goal after I get my cdl to stay a P&D city driver..
I’m just in the situation where if I do take the position I won’t be going to the 4 week cdl and didn’t know if that’s a good or bad thing..
but appreciate the opinion..

 

Never thought about seniority with in the company.. and your right about jobs after cdl school nothing guarantee and the offer I did get for a p&d driver straight out of school pays less then the actual dock postion at old dominion ..
Thanks for the response

 

100% right maybe I’m just in a rush for the simple fact of saying I have a cdl .. when reality it’s more about building a career to contribute to your family..
thanks for your thoughts
