Wanting to obtain my Class A. Is this possible?

Yes, yes, yes. But your gonna have to think outside the box. Roll off, trash, dump truck excc.. best bet is a company that has both A and B trucks. Go in for a B truck with a cdl A. Tell them you would be willing to move to a A truck should they be willing. Build your experance, and trust with a good comapny and you might get a A truck. If not alot of B local work is pretty good pay wise. Just gotta look. And dont do anything illigel just cuz your new and trying to impress, you #### up, you lose job, you are ####ed.

 

I'd recommend a beverage company like Coke, Pepsi, or a local beer distributor. I started with Coke just out of high school and they trained me to get my CDL. The work was very physical, but at least I got my foot in the door. My location was union and I made over $35,000 as a 19 year old (running intrastate) in 1992. The position also allowed daily home time. Unfortunately, that environment is changing and those "good" jobs, although still out there, are getting harder to find.

 

Edit, i mis read. The no training what so ever is gonna be hard. There are gubment (i know i mispelled it) programs to help with costs

 

Well i like pintles idea of vev companys, as for how else, its a permit, so just like a car. Getting a B job with a CDL A good way to get in, depending on where you live there are companys that will train and rent trucks for the test. In mn if your a quick study you can get a A for less then 600 all in. A cdl B is like 450 but then you have to talk your way in the door excc. If a bev company will hire you and train i would do that. Stay put for at least a year AFTER you get your cdl, then go looking.

 

Not sure what the policy is in your location, but they pay for your training up here for Bus drivers! Pretty easy way to get your Cdl B with airbrake, School bus and Passenger endorsements. Some Schools will let Drivers take their kids with them on the runs. Just another option.

 

#### rda why didnt i think of that!
