    Have you been officially prevented from getting a CDL from the state due to mental issues? Or, are your mental issues making you uncomfortable about getting a CDL?

    the doctors said I'll never be able to hold onto a normal job... That includes driving a tractor trailer... The only way I'll be able to work full time is to locate a job that pays in cash... I'll make about $160-$200/wk...

    as has been stated quite often, the pay isnt enough. BUT if you see this as your means to an end, get the experience you want. Do so with pride and to hell with what the rest of us think.

    you have a goal and plan, do whats necessary , on a daily basis, to achieve that.

    Good luck to you.

    So, you HAVE NOT been medically barred from obtaining a CDL? Your doctors just don't think you can handle it? Technically you CAN get a CDL? Is this all correct?

    Also, what does cash have to do with holding on to a job?

    If you'd like, we can go to PM. Or, if you're comfortable discussing everything here, that is cool too.

    i have mental issues so the doctors approved a crazy check... The only way for me to work, is getting a job that pays cash... I can load and unload trucks, as well as drive them... Flea market work allows me to do that... Even though it won't be commercial driving, its driving nonetheless... I have concentration issues and a couple of other things... I wouldn't drive an 80,000lb tractor trailer with concentration issues as it would be too dangerous... So i can't, but i can drive smaller trucks like 10ft-26ft box trucks without issue... So until this issue is sorted out (don't think it'll happen sooner or later) I'll have to stick with driving for flea markets and small businesses... If i was able to drive commercial vehicles i already would be
