I have no issue with a hair follicle test. My credit history is great. The ROEHL driver-training program is an option, (as is any 'obtain CDL-A through company' program) but not what I've got my heart set on. I would like to obtain my permit/CDL-A through a local school in my home state.
I have little to no issue applying to "2nd chance" companies, as I am mainly looking to gain experience. I currently have no financial obligations. No car. (I drive a family owned vehicle, yes I am insured) I live with family rent free. I have no qualms about needing any sort of home time, in fact, I would most-likely be moving to the terminal state/city. I have no issue with teaming with little to no home-time at all, honestly. I would like to apply to well-paid positions & hope that I would get a well-paid position, but I will accept the fact that I cannot get hired at a higher paying company if I need to, after I have given it my best.
Getting my CDL just does not seem like a death sentence. haha. I would much rather work toward a goal than continue working labor or food service or retail. I would be happy doing local flatbed or dump truck as well, for the experience. My goal is to save up money right now. Maybe for schooling... maybe for a family if a family comes sooner than later.
Can anyone say without a doubt that getting this CDL may come back to bite me in the ###, and it will actually be money WASTED? That's ultimately the question I need answered. lol.Last edited: Aug 23, 2016
