Suggestions on Next Step

Hey Everyone!

Long story short, I only have experience driving articulated dump truck on private property.

I studied for the ELDT (theory and hazmat)

Scheduled and took my CDL A permit tests at the end of May 2023 and passed all tests (including tankers). I found out that I can't take the Hazmat until I already have my CDL.

Now, I have memorized all parts for the pre-trip.

What should my next step be? I can't find anything online. The only thing that I have found is sign up for a $5000 + class that I can't afford. I found a couple of places that are 1800, you show up pass the pre trip inspection with the trainer and then they let you start the driving portion.

If I do the $1800 class will anyone hire me?

I am doing the best that I can to get back on my feet (just like a lot of other people). I do not qualify for grants due to owing student loans and don't qualify for personal loans due to my student loans.

I can't afford my bills if I sign up for a $600 a week paid training program. Being a single parent is hard, but worth it. Not looking for handouts nor do I have "poor me" syndrome. I just need direction and/or suggestions.

Thank you in advance to anyone that responds!

Be safe out there,
