Roehl GYCDL

You must live in the "hiring area" the company uses. The hiring area is based on the freight lanes where the company is making money. Doesn't have to be a terminal or warehouse anywhere near you.
www.cfidrive.com hires in central Florida for their cdl school or if you attend private cdl school, they'll reimburse the tuition back to you.

 

Doesn't matter where you live as long as it's in the hiring area. Take the truck home or park it in a safe place near your home.
Some cdl schools let you attend part time, if you can't afford to quit your present job. One guy in Orlando went to Roadmaster recently doing part time studies and it took him 8 weeks. He then signed on with CFI for tuition reimbursement. Freymiller also offered him a job with tuition reimbursement as a benefit.
Probably several schools in your area with part time studies.

 

@Ultratowel - did you find a place to park around Orlando?

 

If you are determined, get an address at that place and move your official life there, then your license and so forth will all line up.

Easier would be to find a local job where there's a chance of them training you. Like that big materials supplier that begins with a Y down there, somebody's name. Or try for a dock job with an LTL company and let them train you.

 

@Chinatown To continue on this thread: I am attending a CDL school at a local community college in Florida. I am packing up all of my stuff, putting it in storage and moving to where ever the best job I find is. How can I make that known to companies like Roehl when I am applying? I have no family, so I don't need to get "home" time in any specific place. Some of us are trying to get out of nightmare-Florida. Thank you.

 

Apply with companies that hire in Florida and also hire where you want to relocate to. This way, you won't have to change companies and will only have to change your cdl when the time comes.
@MCMarshall
For example, these companies hire new cdl grads and hire in most states:
Melton Truck Lines
Freymiller
Hire on with one of those two, then not worry about changing your address until you decide on a new place to live and get established there.
You may like Texas or Nevada; no personal income taxes in those states and Nevada doesn't tax food either.
You don't need to make it known to any trucking company that you plan to move to another state. After you're established in another state, then just tell the company of your new address.
