Profile For Ian B.

Got the call from Prime 2 days ago and I leave on Saturday. I'm not prepared at all. I'm about as much of a child as any 25 could ever be and this step is huge. I had been attending a CDL class at a local university but I'm definitely not ready for this. I have only traveled to one other state in my adult life. I'm putting on a "brave" face for my family and friends but in reality I'm absolutely terrified. I have a stupid masculinity complex that keeps me from admitting these things. Anyways, cheers to all of you who have gone through this. The first days of my life lay before my feet.

I've gone around and Googled my best, but I was hoping some of you could answer a question of mine:

Are there any schools that pay FROM THE START in CDL training (cash advances included) with a contract? I've been pursuing a career in trucking and I've almost completed my first (of 3) semesters at a community college and I'm curious as to whether or not I can expedite this experience and start making some money since my family is struggling financially.

Thank you

I was a bartender at a country club that was highly mismanaged and they had put me in the position to be cited for a felony on several different occasions. I felt it was in my best interest for my future career to cut ties with that company and avoid any possible deviance from my career path.

Hey guys,

I'm currently attending a truck driving program through my local community college Central New Mexico Community College. I've just completed Week 4 of the program. All of my "schoolwork" is done online and then once a week we meet at the range for about 8 hours to practice maneuvering. The course is slated to end in mid April of 2016 and then I should have my CDL by then. The course and all required expenses adds up to be a little over $1,000. Now with that information put out there, here is my predicament: This is going to take too long....

I'm currently unemployed as I quit my job just as soon as I enrolled into college. I live at home with my mother and sister so my expenses for day to day things and bills are relatively small, but I've reached a crossroads now. I need to either speed up my ability to be employed as an OTR driver or I need to go back to work and balance school and a job. What I'm seriously asking, and considering, is whether it would be more beneficial if I simply dropped this class, applied to a private sponsored school that goes full time and then sign on with that company for a year. I understand that with some of these sponsored schools I can get cash advances during my training period?

Any advice?
