I'm out of a job due to company closure...

The state of NJ has programs for free cdl school for people losing their job.

If you go this way, North American Bulk Transport in Nazareth, PA sometimes hires new cdl school grads and the job is home every day.

This company is a division of Tankstar. I used to work for Schwerman which is also a division of Tankstar. All the divisions do hire new cdl school grads. That's why the ads have One Yr. Exp. "preferred", not required.

I am OK with getting a CDL, in fact I know many people that work for carriers in non-driving jobs that have CDLs. Were it not for developing Epilepsy I would be doing this today. I just recommend not developing tunnel vision and overlook a good non-driving job opportunity. Good management types are worth their weight in gold. Go on follow the good advice you have got in this thread, get that CDL! Just don't close off other jobs that may be available.

 

Here's a thread on YRC training.
