    Federal Grants.... WOIA and PEL. ... Otherwise... Check with school you're interested in. They might know a bank that will loan you the money?

    If you want it, there is always a way. I remembered seeing this video a while back. Title of the video isn't real PC, but that's someone who wanted something and went for it. I saw a flatbedder once who was a paraplegic. Had a chair lift to get into and out of his rig, rolled around it checking his securement at a rest area beside me once. Determination is all anything takes.

    I’m really short! I can reach the pedals just fine on my 2015 prostar.. I have to pull the steering wheel all the way down; then pull the seat all the way forward... but at 5’3... I have had no problems in my Freightliner Classic, Peterbilt, or International.. you can do it
     
    Gin86 Thanks this.

    I plan on calling them back on Tuesday (they're on holiday break). I've already tried the WIOA grant and was told I make too much lol. I'm not counting on a Pell Grant. I swear they want you to be basically jobless before you have a chance at making better money. I'll figure something out.
