I am a 47 year old male, with a pristine driving record, and no criminal record. I am starting to study for my CDL A license in Florida, with the goal of passing the written test, medical exam, and paying 300-400 to take the driving test with a local company, that I found off the DMV website as an accredited School. My questions are:
1) How difficult will it be for me to find an OTR job with no experience.
2) Do you think it would be better for me to take a 3 week driving school?
3) If I do get hired, what kind of pay could I expect?
I am in a hole financially, and really need to make good money in the next couple years. I feel very confident in driving a semi, and know that I would be a very safe driver, as I have never had a ticket or accident.
Thanks so much in advance for any help you can give me.
