How to pay for trucking school?

There are usually more than one agency that give out these grants. But yes, unfortunately, being unemployed works best, regardless of financial assets.

A credit union should still beat any credit company. I wish more people knew about credit unions.

Is a trucking school training you? If so, you might want to check out what they have to offer. Back when I was in school in 2013, they told us that if we left the company we would be paying full price (about 6k). If we stayed, we get a good discount. I paid my school loan under a year for $3,600. If I needed more time (1-3 years), it would have been $4,200.

 

You will likely be out of luck because these schools are very condensed. The school days take up almost the entire day. You should start submitting your letter of resignation.

 

Mega fleet schools finish their classes in 14 days. Soon after, your pay begins while you wait a day or a few for a trainer.

 

Where they do that at 2000 when I went 9 years ago lol

 

I did my CDL school on the weekends. It took 9 weekends. I had bills to pay as well and a full time job. Worked for me.

 

I paid cash. Swiped my debit card. $2000. 3 months monday-Friday 8am-5pm. Paid for itself with my first paycheck.
