    I finally got my Class A, CDL permit this morning. I was able to get it on my own with out having to attend a truck driving school. I decided to get it on my own so I would not have to pay there outrages prices just to get a permit. I will be now looking for a truck driving school to get the "behind the wheel" training. I have found one community college in Collin County here in Texas that offers behind the wheel training for students who already have there CDL permit. I'm soo excited that I'm half way there.

    Thank you!

    I'm looking into LTL freight and even driving as a fueler, but first would like to get the experience. If I was still young
    I would even look into driving for Coca Cola or Labatt Food service but I'm older and my body is not like it use to.

    Milk tankers pay pretty good. Lots of rural driving to farms and ranches.
    Cdl school pays hourly while in school.

    Chinatown,

    Thank you for that link to WDT. I looked into it and the closest terminal is 1 hour and 47 minutes drive from where I live.

    Hello, this is my first post but have been lurking around for a while. I'm wondering if you could tell me a good place to get paid training without a contract in northeast Ohio. Thank you.
