Sorry. I was also wondering what KLLM pays during the training phase. I heard it went down but not sure as to what it is. Thanks.

Hey all. I just found out about KLLM and had a question. Does anyone know why they only take people from Texas or Mississippi to go to the training school?

If I were willing to pay for my own transportation to the school do (from CA) do you think they might give me a chance?

I may or may not go to a private CDL training school. The problem is, how hard is it to find work with a reputable company that keeps miles up (average of 2,500 or so) and has decent pay. I read some really bad things about company sponsored training programs (especially PRIME, which is currently interested in sending me to train with them) where people end up getting stranded at the location of training because suddenly they aren't able to be employed for some reason or another (a few were medication related, but were told it wasn't a problem and then it suddenly was...I'm on medications so I do not want this same problem). I just don't know if I should risk going to a company sponsored program (and at a minimum a few states away from my home in CA) or if I should get my CDL on my own then apply to places.

So I am looking into becoming a truck driver. Some of you may have seen my other post about my medical situation. Assuming everything is ok'd I would like to go with Prime Inc. I applied and was left a voicemail saying my app looked good and to get in touch. I live in California with my parents (I am 22). I assume that means they would send me to their Utah training center. Am I correct about that?

Now when I go through all of the training and get my license, will it be a California CDL or a Utah CDL? If it is a Utah CDL, then will I be required to get my California CDL since that is my home state (if, so how difficult is it to transfer the license)? Additionally, I plan on moving to Arizona within the next year (my brother and his family live there). Does that mean I would then need to get an Arizona CDL? How hard is transferring a CDL license to Arizona?

Thanks for the help guys.

I have a personality disorder (borderline personality disorder). I am perfectly fine on my medications (Prozac, Cymbalta, Lamictal, and Seroquel). None of these affect my ability to drive or impair me in any way. Am I able to become a truck driver?
