    Yes and that's being generous. I've seen class A local jobs advertised on Craigslist that pay $12 an hour.

    I know companies the D.C. area that still pay $16/ hour for trailer drivers. Whole lot more expensive here than FL.

    D.C. Is more expensive than Minneapolis also where I live. I'd never consider driving s truck for that. I'd still be cooking making more money than that.

    If you can afford the $3000 fee paying for tuition is always the best option that way your not tied up to any company, if you don't have the cash then signing up with a company is pretty much your only option unless you've got a generous motherinlaw that'll lend you the money. :D
