I’ve thought about your method before, but it wouldn’t work for most people mainly because of the money. We have lots of broke people going into trucking. I was one of them. The 2nd problem is the know how.
Big fleets will finance your school costs, even lend you money if you need it, put you on a truck with a trainer for further training that can last 4-8 weeks over-the-road, and finally give you a job. Sure, school costs can be in the thousands, but there should be trucking schools out there with significant discounts or even make trucking school free if you stay with them a certain amount of time.

Go to a nearby trucking school and ask them or research on your own, the nearest work force grant program (federal). With this grant program, having jumped it's own hurdles, your schooling is free including all endorsement and license fees.
