    51 over??????? In PA that is a class one felony Driving with the intent to Kill, or something like that, anything over 25 over and they can nail you for it, big fine, 2 years+ prison, and 5 year ban on license

    Check with the unemployment office about a WIA grant for CDL school. Sometimes they pay for school & you may need to get a couple of pre-hires first, but ask them about it. There are some companies that might hire you after CDL school, but the pay won't be too good. Anything for a start.

    You industry will chew you up and spit you out if you are not mature enough for this industry, your lol's prove that.
    You will be away from your daughter and it sounds like your desperate.

    Do you have the money

    Can you pass drug and alcohol test

    It doesn't sound like you are mature enough for this

    Just being honest

    wia denied me because they based me off my last 4 years of income they said i could of paid it from my pocket cuz i made 27k a year but im sick of fix Machines and hydraulic's.I wanna enjoy my job. i have a per hire for werner but road master is like no way they will take u then they said file a swift app out the hire almost anyone but i heard werner did too. Schindler told me as soon i grad to call them back for a tanker job. So idk what to believe if this is goin hurt me or if im clear because i only have 2 reports ever. And i see people with DUI;s gettin in same with felony's and failed drug tests so i think my case is alot smoother then theirs \

    There are other schools out there, if roadmaster can't/wont take you try calling others.

    My situation is WAY WAY different than yours, however I called numerous schools, and I too have a pre-hire from Werner (and several other companies). Each school is different, each school has different policies concerning enrollment. Some schools I called just wanted my money, others wanted me to sign away any future kids i would have, and some were pretty honest. I chose one all the way out in Missouri to go to(i'm in PA) based on what I wanted/needed/thought was best.

    there are schools out there that will give you rooms to stay in and even transportation to the school, call around.

    Just start googleing other schools. Someone is bound to work with you if you want this bad enough
