Need honest advice

It might be a stretch, but a few years back MS was sponsoring people to go to tuck driving school through the unemployment office. Maybe try that?

As far as local goes, idk. I’ve looked into it previously but when it came down to money it didn’t pay enough in my area, although it seems on here some people in food service and LTL are makin $$$$. Maybe look at food service and beverage companies?

 

If you would sacrifice one year for over-the-road, then many local jobs will be available.
For example, Clean Harbors is local and will hire you with a little experience. Sometimes they cut some slack and hire a new cdl grad or a cdl driver with very little experience.
They also have "tuition reimbursement" if you graduated from cdl school.
401K (w/ company matching), tuition reimbursement, and generous paid time off

Company paid certifications, licenses and training

The state might pay for cdl school, free to you, through the WIOA Program. This program is for people that are under-employed or unemployed. If you have a low paying factory job, you might qualify.

Schneider will also pay for cdl school. If you pay for school yourself, they'll reimburse up to $7000.00 directly to you in monthly installments.

 

Have you considered moving to a better area for jobs?

 

Check with the WIOA Program and if they accept you, will assign you to a cdl school.
Check with a Schneider recruiter; they pay for cdl school and have local/regional driving jobs.
