    Hi everyone. i am interested in joining the truck industry with a. Non cdl clean Georgia licence. How would you recommend me to start ?
    I was thinking of buying a used Van or Bix truck 20ft to 26ft: which one would you recommend ?
    I am also think of becoming an owner operator but I don’t want to move too fast since I am new to the industry and never been a truck driver before. I drive 10-12h daily for Uber though.
    I need some help to get me started in the right order and mindset.

    Don't buy a truck yet. With no experience, your insurance would be so expensive you could buy a mansion for the same money.
    You probably can get started with box truck experience with Schneider on www.schneiderjobs.com

    Thanks Chinatown. I just called Schneider and they don’t have any truck for non cdl drivers.

    Some trucking companies do. I'll look through my notes for that.
    Where are you in Georgia?

    You can rent a class b with air brakes and take the test in it.

    Schneider and Swift will pay for school but I am interested in CDL for the moment. I want to drive local and small truck box truck or Van for courier/delivery/freight or any type that is possible with a non cdl licence.
