    It wouldn't be a whole semester if I wasn't going only on weekends. The Monday-Thursday Course is 2 months total or maybe shorter. Yes its a community college. Costs roughly $1800 before financial aid and HOPE Grant.

    I do pretty well as is, and I know I will take a hit my first year out on the road. Sacrifice that I am willing to make.

    well my community college I went to was only a month. and I ask because I think it would be worth it too you to either work part time or just quit while you go to school if this is something that you want.

    One is Snoqualmie, the other is the outer edge of the Rockies, west side.

    Coast to coast reefer outfits that hire new cdl grads:
    Freymiller
    Abilene Motor Express
    Magnum Ltd.
    Navajo Express
    Pride Transport

    Check the websites for driver amenities in the trucks. Some websites have "experience required" but that's not correct; all those listed above hire new cdl grads.
     
    Locke and TheFriscoKid Thank this.

    You from frisco? Check out birite food service South City. Or saladinos, pepsi/coke, these guys hire newbies. Stay away from otr its over rated especially with the starter companies. Chinatown can only give you otr info no local. Thats because he collects all the truckstop toilet paper and reads off of that. Hes considered the forums career service director. Lmao

    Theres a bunch of places in the peninsula you can try assuming you are in the bay. The pay is higher in the east bay though. Hell hit me up and I can see about a bakery I have connections with in Hayward. Most drivers there start off in the dock. Never went to truck school. Just passed the permits and got the training with a company driver.
