You should start studying to get your permit and this program will help you study High Road Training Program. ... or you can go with a faster paced Company-Sponsored Training with little to no upfront cost and get your cdl and a job in about 16 days.... /p>
You know what's funny? When I moved to Michigan I had to get a new driver's license, take the test all over again & everything. I went to the website & took the practice test, and thought "My God, that was the hardest driver's license test ever!" I didn't even understand some of the terms. I got a C on it. Turns out I went to the wrong page & took the practice CDL test instead LOL Somehow I got lucky managed a passing grade, but it wasn't a great one. Thanks for the study links.
How realistic is the no-upfront-cost corporate-sponsored training? And pre-hiring? I'll be honest, I don't have a dime. I've been poor my whole life, & free training appears to be the only way I'll be able to get on top of it.

Nope, I'm not a teenager. I just didn't get my license until I was 26. I'm 43 now, & between the times I couldn't afford a car or I had my license suspended for not being insured, I've only got about 5 or 6 (non-consecutive) years of driving experience. I'm hoping being a truck driver will help me turn my life around, but am I un-hirable?

I can't believe how affordable all this is. At worst it looks like some of the companies charge a couple hundred bucks up front. For someone like myself hoping to turn his life around, this is an incredible deal. It looks like Knight and Millis are my top 2 picks, but I'm just now starting to research it. One thing is for sure: I'm going to have to clean up. I've been a heavy mmj smoker over the past couple years. It's time for me to clean up, anyway. The 90-day wait should give me some time to work toward getting a car so I can get myself out to a school.
