    O.K that was easy,
    I read the DMV CDL book and day after i went to do the written exam,
    I passed and got the permit.

    Now i'm looking for a Cali. Company that will train me and hire me later.

    Anyone can recommend a place for that ?

    Thank you all.

    Nice job on getting your permit! you can check around for some of the "CDL mills" as people refer to them round here. Like Schneider, Swift, Werner, CRST, CR England just to name a few all have their own schools/ accept first time drivers. But any of them that have a school would of gotten you your permit as well. Dont look at it as wasted time tho. think of it as being ahead of the curve :) GL!

    dude there's tons of info just search. with crst you have to team drive, even after training, cr england HEAVILY pushes a lease (i mean they all do) but cr england has an extremely notrious rep for pushing the lease and if you don't they pretty much can you or make you quit. with werner or swift (i forget which one) you have to go to az, transfer you license and then come back in state to transfer back.

    i went thru centrals school, if you do a search bigrigg made a lengthy detailed post on them here

    Ahh scratch the last 4 plz he is under the weather and no matter

    What chu do please find a ptdi certified school if you can get the

    State 2 pay for it even better don't go to a driver mill school

    There are a slave master system with contracts after you finish training

    And the pay is horrendous you'd be bedder off stayin @ home find a

    Fastfood job than puttin up with there bs

    Especial Werner,CREngalnd,Crst all horrible,horrible,horrible

    Read the good and bad trucking company threads

    Make a list and eventually it will get smaller with time

    Also read rollover the originals threads

    About BFIs or bottom feeder inc.

    And what u need too know before u quite that pos company

    Most of all there is alot of hot air in these forums so beware

    Butt also pay attention too the occurance of the same complaints

    At the same companies good luck and welcome too trucking
