<p>[QUOTE=&quot;icsheeple, post: 4571043, member: 128721&quot;]I&#039;d advise avoiding a company sponsored school, and go the community college route.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please understand, even the comm college schools are terrible. They give you enough to pass the state CDL exam. That&#039;s it. Then you have to find a decent company to train. They are pricey too, mine was $2900. </p><p><br /></p><p>Do your research.</p><p><br /></p><p>I went to a community college course for 6 weeks, then trained for 3 weeks with my first company. First solo dispatch 9 weeks after deciding I wanted to play truck driver. </p><p><br /></p><p>Once you settle on a company, stick with it for an entire year from the day of your first solo dispatch. Don&#039;t job hop. Every starter company is pretty much just as terrible as the next one. Get that first year under your belt, no wrecks, no tickets. Then look for better paying work. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another pro tip would be go get into something specialized right out of the gate. Tankers would be a great start if you can get on with a tanker company that trains students.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
