Hey. I’m a 29 year old woman, who had to move back in with my parents after a huge, bad, breakup. I have no kids, and nothing tying me to this state besides my parents, who financially I am a burden on.
I think truck driving would get me out of their house, and making more money. 17.5 an hour plus bonuses isn’t bad, but in Phoenix, with the cost of rent and living, on one income, it’s tough.
I want to get into trucking. But I’m terrified of getting into an accident and hurting someone. I want to make sure I’m 100% prepared for the road.
I’ve been doing all the practice tests online. That written part seems pretty straight forward...
As for the actual driving training... is it safer to go to swift, which would be local and an easy academy for me to get to, or fork out the money and go to school? I already have debt from failing out of community college when I was 18 that I’ve never been able to pay off... so I would have to come up with cash for school. Does swift prepare people for the road? Or are all these things I read online and hear about swift true, and that they put people on the road before they are ready?
Swift or Community College?

Don't believe everything you hear about Swift; they have excellent cdl school.
Can you pass a hair follicle drug test? Swift does that and if you fail it's going to be very hard to get a trucking career started.

Another good option is Southwest Truck Driver Training in Phoenix.
Tuition can be financed with the first payment not due until 45 days after graduation.
Doing this will give you several options of companies to choose from and some will reimburse the tuition back to you in monthly installments. You can use that money to make the payments to the school.

If you prefer to leave Arizona quickly, Prime Inc. will ship you to Salt Lake City for their school.
Usually, just does urine drug test unless there's something suspicious going on. This company also has a very good training program. Transportation to the school, meals & lodging provided.

I’m not worried about a follicle or drug test.
I did get into a fender bender. And I have to wait a minute until that’s off my record.
That, and money are the only thing holding me up -
That would be cool!!! It’s just taking a loan out it so difficult
