Indentured Servitude or $6,000?

Youre in luck! CTL Transportation needs drivers and will pay for your school. Once you complete cdl school you will then attend tanker school in Tampa. Probably make 60K easy your first year.

 

About Chinatown's post- What? How do you know this? This sounds too good to be true! I'm looking up their website right now though!

 

That's a nice list- I didn't realize there were so many. So basically you go and get your CDL at their facility and train there also, and your home state doesn't matter?

 

I see where CTL is probably hiring in this area- that sounds like a good option. Is the normal procedure to fill out these online applications before you enter school, or wait til you're in school, or how does it work normally.

 

Submit job applications during the first week of school.
In the case of CTL Transportation, contact them first before enrolling in any school because they may suggest a school that they will pay for.

 

I didn't realize there was so much research involved in picking these companies and schools- thank you for sending me down a good path here.

 

Some guy from your area went with Western Express flatbed division. They have flatbed or dry van; best money is flatbed. Western Express sends you to school in Nashville,TN plus pays your way there and provides hotel room and 3 meals per day while attending their cdl school.

If you decide to pay for school yourself, still go with CTL Transportation or Abilene Motor Express.
Abilene hires lots of Florida drivers. Good company and trucks have Apu.

 

Yeah, there is a community college on US Highway 19 in St.Pete that has a truck driving program. I saw their rigs parked in the lot when I passed by there a few times.
