I'm in SoCal, should I take the "easy" route of one of the megas with "free" CDL in Fontana? Or?

To get a TX CDL you basically need to live in TX or have a TX address. The local training with a mega mean you have job when finished and the train you their way. You usually have sign a contract to work for then like a year. So you can't just quit unless you pay them back for the training. They also usually pay less per mile. So it not really free but it get you into driving. You can always switch later if you want.

Even when people pay for training themselves you have find a company that will hire someone new without any experience. Kinda same thing they pay less because they are taking a big risk. They may also require you go with their trainer for couple weeks.

 

Isnt it a crime to evade taxes like that? You live in California so pay your taxes. And dont vote democratic if you go to texas. We wont give up our guns so dont bother trying

 

GTFO of California , sounds like you might have enough sense to pack up. Just about everyone I meet from there has sun damage to their brain. And once you start living in Texas and paying for your housing etc, you'll start to see the real side of America. The republican side, you went out and improved your living situation.

 

They dont see the republican side. They move then vote dem and ruin the place. (not saying this specific guy but alot of them)

 

The sun damaged their brain

 

Superior Carriers has a very busy terminal in Pasadena, TX. You can get your license and transfer it easily to Texas, just have to prove residency. I would get started with school and contact Superior while you’re in school. Once you finish, head on out to Texas & leave California in the rear view mirror. I’m a California refugee myself, took my guns and my freedom & moved to Florida. Superior hired me fresh out of school, much better option than going with a mega but I understand not everyone has the cash for CDL school. Do what you need to do to get out of California.

 

My opinion is don't sign on to a contract for your license, for one call Dootson Truck School in El Monte in think, they will let you pay as you go, Local wise you can call Robertson Cement there office is in Corona, They are local and will train you, then put you on loads at 24 percent I believe. They will have you sign a contract if you use there school , but its local. At Dootson you can do weekend classes (or used to be able to). Personal attention working on your weak areas. Takes longer but you dont owe anyone. My wife and my mom both got there class 1 licenses thru Dootson a few years back they were great to work with back then.
You ask for opinion, You can check with Commercial Transport / Holiday Rock I'm not sire but they may have a training program.
