need to drive asap

Ouch, dude, most places require at LEAST a GED... How old are you, and why can't you get your GED?

 

Fairly sure nearly every place wants at least a GED. I mean no CDL is fairly easy to work with but without at least a GED I'm fairly sure you're hosed.

 

You're SOL guy.No place will hire you with out diploma OR ged.Don't think even trucking schools will accept you.Here u can't even get a fast food job without a diploma.

 

I've never heard of a company that asked to see a high school or GED diploma. Someone posted one time they were asked, but don't know for sure. Just figure out a reasonable date for graduation and put it down.
My first cousin finished high school then was drafted into the 101st Airborne Division. When he got out he landed a good job in upper management of a textile company with his 4 yr. degree in "Business Management" ; very successful career for a high school grad.

Here's some schools to apply with:

Millis Transfer

Southern Refrigerated Transport(bus ticket to school, 3 meals a day, free hotel room during CDL school)

MCT in Wauseon, OH

 

Jesus..... Dude get your GED. Trust me, you'll be happy you did later.

 

My nephew quit school and can't find work.So did my niece but she was smart and went back,got her GED now shes going to college.

 

I disagree.

I got my highschool diploma late (not ged). It boosted my self-esteem for 2 weeks and then i forgot i have it and nobody cares. Nobody asked me to see it, and i dont blame them.

A high school diploma means precisely nothing.

 

I never suggest quitting school. An education is the best thing you'll ever get. Even hit college for a year or two. If one did not, at least get the GED. At least. Without a diploma or an equivalent, you're selling yourself short. By a lot. The only thing the OP needs to do right away is get an education and a GED. That's more important than anything. Even in trucking.

 

Not to a decent employer. It means the difference of a good amount of earning potential. This is going to come as a shock to many of you, but a lot of new drivers won't be drivers past a year or two. It's just the way it works.
