WV off I77 need CDL

Give em a call. You can do it.
The road is a solitary life... so if you must have people clamoring all over you constantly making you feel important, you'll be in for a shock.

You will start low on the totem pole.
Low money.. maybe paying back tuition, or working off a contract for a set amount of time for "free" training.

You'll be gone from home. GONE.
You'll miss your mom's birthday because a load planner couldn't care less.
If you have a boyfriend.. or whatever.. tell em bye. They'll not put up with someone being gone 4-8 weeks at a time only to come home for 3 days and gone again.
If you make it past a year and are a good , safe operator, that produces and makes appointments without service failures you have the Golden Ticket.
Job opps abound.
You'll make better money each year.
You can probably move towards a regional or even local position without too much of a pay cut.

It's not the glamour of the old movies.
It's lonely.. it's dangerous.. it's tough work.. it's stressful.
It's rewarding.

You've gotta WANT to do this long term.
People wash out like leaves in a stream.
It's all up to you.

 

We have a resident new driver/ companies that train expert...

Give him just a bit of time to find this since I tagged him.
He's extremely knowledgeable.

 

Millis Transfer is a good choice; they run eastern half of the USA.
Contract Freighters - www.cfidrive.com is a good choice; they run 48 states. Hair follicle drug test.
Jim Palmer Trucking - 48 states
Wil-Trans - eastern half of USA. Wil-Trans owns Jim Palmer trucking, but they're 2 seperate companies.
Roehl Transport - various divisions to choose from. I'd go with "National Van Fleet" if it were me. Hair follicle drug test. Pays $500 weekly while in classroom training, then bump up to driver pay after graduation.
Schneider Bulk is good - tanker division of Schneider. Hair follicle drug test.

Company-paid Tuition
With a 12-month commitment to drive for CFI, qualified students can now receive fully paid tuition to attend driving school in Missouri. We’ll even cover your room and board for the duration of the four-week course.
CFI is proud to support female truck drivers.
One of our very own female drivers, Stephanie Klang, was named as an ATA’s America’s Road Team Captain. Stephanie surpassed an incredible milestone of driving over three million safe miles!

Not pushing CFI here, even though they do have a good reputation, just giving an example of how most trucking company schools operate. They all will pay for transportation to their school and provide lodging and meals.

 

abilenemotor.com.
they have a terminal in Wytheville VA and they train.

how far up 77 are you?

or maybe talk to some of the companies running the oil fields.

 

There ya go, @WVRose !!
CT never lets us down... and @Numb with the Wytheville local training keeps you within your close confines.

There will likely be more to come since drivers are finishing up their days and perusing the web.

Do NOT give out specifics... but what is your general locale.. so someone may know if a closer training option to your hometown??
Charleston??

 

From there, you may be better suited in a school around Canton or Columbus.
There will be plenty.
Do a Google search for free truck driver training Southern Ohio.
