[QUOTE="Rat Fink, post: 729991, member: 22723"]RickG made a great point. I got my class 3 (driving straight trucks) with airbrakes in the oilfield. It was FREE. When I wanted to drive a tractor/trailer, I got a job with where I'm at before I even got my license. The boss interviewed me and liked my background and personality. He said I'm hired as long as I pass my driving test. I spent 2 days at a driving school to get used to a trailer, and took my written and driving test. Passed both on the first try. If you want to get your class 1 license for free (CDL/AZ whatever you call it license to drive the tractor/trailer in your area) you can get it through the oilfield. A person just has to apply to companies such as Sanjel, Century, Halliburton, Schlumberger, various wireline companies, etc and they will cover the cost of training and give you some pretty solid paycheques as well. There are tons of driving jobs advertised in Alberta. Long-haul, local, agricultural, oilfield, cement, anything![/QUOTE]
