new wanna be driver question

New to the site and I will say now thank you for any at all advise given ahead of time. I am located in southern NJ and am in the process of doing a 180 as far as a career but looking forward to it. I applied a week ago to deer park as a route sales delivery driver since my close find is in the industry and got his start there since they train you, pay for your license etc. I am a very proactive person and it is killing me to have to wait to hear if I am getting the job or not without being able to follow up with someone.

So as of yesterday, I went to the DMV and got the CDL manual and card to fill out and asked about my options and have started reading the manual to prepare for the permit test. My question is, once I get my permit is there any company that will bring me aboard and pay for or at least supply me with a vehicle to complete my license?

I will have a very difficult time finding someone with a class B truck or a license to complete the driving test , my friend lives in north NJ 3 hours away.

I would like to get going asap so any advise on the best route to take would be helpful!

thank you !

Yes Deer Park will pay for all that and train you . You drive with them up to when you take the driving test. I don't mind staying somewhere for a short time I just want to get started asap. thank you!

 

Yes I am actually going to an appointment with a school at 11 this morning to check what that is all about and the cost. I agree that doing it on my own while cheaper , may not go well since I don't have means to a truck.

 

No deer deer park would bring me on without the permit , I would then drive around with a driver while I prepare for my permit and then train me for the license etc and train me apparently from what my buddy said that use to work there from when he started his CDL.

I hope they call and hire me but I am preparing as if they don't so I don't waste time.

 

I found a cdl driving school that is reputable and is accredited . Once I get my permit next week on my own he will only charge $1000 for the class to prepare me for the license test and the ability to use one of his trucks. I am really looking forward to this! It's been a while since I could say that about a career.

Still hoping Deer Park calls me but like I said I am proactive and don't want to wait around and I have found no other companies that are willing to bring me on and train me for the license which is understandable .
