    I know I'm a pest. I might be able to get funding for the 120 hour course at the Elizabethtown community college. a 120 hour school and graduating with my cdl if so would most companies overlook that I've held my regular license less than a year?

    Here's a job in Louisville driving non-cdl box truck and pays $49K per year.
    Once you get a cdl, and move to tractor-trailer, starting pay is about $81K per year.

    Told yall I would keep you updated I went a passed my GED today. So I'm now a Generally Educated #######. I'm waiting to hear back from a man about financing for cdl school. If it falls through I might try a different school a bit further away, they also have financing but I have to have 3 prehires.

    Id say as long as they have no choice over which one you go to. Get a prehire from one or two you really like and just pick the rest as throw aways. There are many that would gladly give you a pre hire.

    Also, its entirely possible, that if you went with them. You could probably chose a different one later (in case you found a better carrier). If they are just doing this to prove you have a job already secured.

    One of those then..... Will probably have to sign on with one of them. But i would ask them if its possible to sign on elsewhere or your stuck with those choices, some schools just want you to get the prehires out of the way and let you do what you want
