    First and formost Is their a page or link here that has all the compainies that pay for your CDL training, like Cr england? I'm broke and would not mind commiting too a company for a year or less. I can;t go with CR England, because they said that i have taking off of work the last two years and they cannot except me. SHe said she would LOVE to have me because of my back ground and military, but the DOT says since i have no recorded work in the past two years it would be impossible for her to except me. Does that make sence to anyone? I went into the Army at 19 seaved 12 years, took a month off after that and then works another 12 years with a casino, so 2 jobs in 27 years is not good enought because i took a couple years off?? Anyone understand that? I'm looking for my 3rd and last job in my life!!I have worked on and off with a painting company who said he will tell the next company i have worked with him over the last two years so i am going to look into EVERY school i can find until i'm excepted. HAve a great weekend and I do HOPE to see some of you on the road someday..

    Hi and welcome to the forum. You might try your local employment office. They might have a program to help you get your CDL.

    That's a good question. Not sure if it will help or not, but when I started driving back in 1999, I got letters from people that knew me during times when I was off work before I got my CDL.

    You may also try posting that particular question in the 'Questions from new drivers' section. You may get a better response there.

    Hey and Howdy! Welcome to the forum. Like Notarps said they did you a favor, you just don't know it. Good Luck in your search and if you really want to do this you can read the threads about trucking companies to help you choose one to go with... Good Luck and Welcome.
