May be a way to be hired since you didn't attend a school. Tell the company you're really motivated to work there and would be willing to go through that training program. There's a chance they'll hire you and just do some training on the yard, then hit the road with a trainer.

That's fine for people who have signed on for full-on OTR life, but one would think that advertising "home weekends" has something to do with actually seeing your family, which you barely will.

One driver on this forum acquired his cdl 10 years ago, and never used it. Now, 10 yrs. later, decided to change careers and go into trucking. He had no problem finding a good job and the ad I posted above is from the company he went to. I think he worked the yard and docks a couple weeks, then started driving with a trainer. Now he's home every night. He was never required to go OTR.Last edited: Dec 10, 2021
