    Company paid training sounds great until you realize the vast majority of brand new drivers don't last one year and most of them don't even last three months so the odds are you will be paying for your training even after you're done with driving. Pay cash or get a grant if you qualify.

    Geez, thanks SO much! This is all super helpful! I'll based out of Jacksonville and have Florida residency. I just turned forty years old.

    I was looking at the Tampa Truck Driving School. They have good reviews and an intensive three week program, but it's only 165 hours as far as I know. Looks like a few you mentioned require 200 hours or more. Is that pretty standard?

    Again, thanks a lot for the list!

    Most require 160 hours.
    A few require 200 or more hours.
    Some will hire with less than 160 hours.
    Those I listed will hire with 160 hours, unless I specifically noted differently.

    Tampa Truck Driving School does have a decent reputation.
