That a waste of money when you can go get experience & get paid at Pepsi they drive 53 foot trailers have a transport division and OTR a CDL for free no contractcontract hhow can you beat ththat & full health care benefits & 401k plan while you earn your CDL can a trucking school do that no just take your money think about it

True the work not easy but you will get in shape long hours. Real good money while earning your cdlcdl for free they go threw a third party tester so you will get your cdl without a contract.

Go to Pepsi or Coca cola to get your CDL get paid & free soda what I did made perrtty good moneymoney & a free CDL

I have a job offer from both companies running the southeast regionalregional. Both offer weekendweekend homtimhomtime. One paying .40 per mile the other .44 per mile. But I need more information on the two companies before I make a decision. Please help me!

I start my CDL training Monday with Knight in Olive Branch MS good luck.

Christopher, I've actually done the same thing with woodworking for cash so I can relate. I didn't have any tax papers for it either, it was just work on the side.

You need to get a long list of people that can verify your custom woodworking self employment. Try to contact previous customers. I know that when I did work I wrote down all my customers' information and I had records of them on my email. So try to talk to them and see if they are willing to help you out. But you need to gather a long list of people that can verify your self employment and apply to every single company out there.

By the way, here's some of my work. Woodworking is definitely one of my passions that I will continue when I retire! These planter boxes were made out of redwood and I also cemented the interior to make it last forever. I sold them for a very nice profit! Don't mean to hijack your thread boss, but always nice to see a woodworker.

Nice work!!

The Gold's Gym I go to have a large parking lot for tractor trailer truck. Maybe the companies should invest in a fitness wellness program for us truckers to stay fit & sexy. That's my scare of becoming a trucker is getting a pop belly....LOL

You can get a Gold's Gym membership they are everywhere or do it jail house style push ups & sit-ups get it how you can...but a Gold's Gym membership would be your best bet & safer than jogging in strange places...stay safe out there

Yup, first step is high road training. But since your going to Knight and need your permit before you get there so you probably already knew that.

Best thing I can tell you is keep your ears open and your mouth shut. I don't mean do not ask questions, you need to clarify anything that you don't understand. But in the short time I've been in this it's hard to believe how many people don't seem to want to listen when instructors are trying to help.

Follow instructions. You are in school but they are watching what is going on. Assume everything they ask you to do is a test, because it probably is.

Be selectful of the students you hang with, if any. It will not take long to figure out who is there to work and who is just testing the waters to see if trucking is for them. It's ok to enjoy yourself when the time is right but when your in the classroom or on the range it is time to be working so don't let other people slow your learning down.

Study your ass off on the pretrip from day one. Most of the people in my class (different school same concept) were worried and cramming the last couple days after they had had three weeks to prepare.

When your on the range get out and look. The more you GOAL the quicker you will get your perception correct on where the trailer is. At first you may think the back of the trailer is one place but then you GOAL and find out its not even close to where you thought it was.
