So, I have a class B from when I used to drive a school bus. I had to quit that job (which I loved) b/c we moved states, but I kept my CDL, I'm just not using it currently. I have a part time job in customer service now, (which I also love), but the pay is not great and, part-time. I have a retired mother and a 15 year old son, so ideally, I would like to stay close to home (St. Louis), but I understand and am prepared to put in a year or two doing OTR as long as I get to be home 1 week a month. I have a mountain of student loan debt, so outright paying for a training school isn't an option. So questions: Should I go to the local training school (160 Driving Academy) which offers subsidized training- Basically they match you up with a company which pays for your training and then you are contracted to work for them for 1 year? Or just go ahead and sign on with a company for training? What are the best endorsements to get for the most lucrative return on my investment of time and energy? And what companies should I be looking at? Thank y'all for your experience and help!
Oh, also, I see a lot of "Earn up to...!!!" How much should I realistically expect to make in my first year?
And are most truck drivers employees or 1099?
Subsidized training school? Or just hire with a Mega?
