Thanks for your reply.. I'll check out those resources you have posted.. What is your opinion though on straight trucks?

can someone tell me of a School/Company in KENTUCKY that will offer paid training to get my CDL's through them and also hire me as a driver?

Welcome aboard Bug Buggy!

Here's the deal. There's no reason that you have to be trained in Kentucky. The Paid CDL Training Programs are all set up to provide you housing, meals, and transportation to their facility. They promise you a job upon your successful completion of the training. If you click on that link you'll find a list of companies that you can contact and start a conversation with a recruiter.

Heres some great resources for you to look into also...

• Truck Driver's Career Guide
• Brett's Book: The Raw Truth About Trucking (free online version)
• High Road CDL Training Program
• CDL Practice Tests

Feel free to ask us questions. We don't bite, and we really enjoy helping newbies find their way through what seems a very confusing and intimidating process of getting started at this.

Looking for advice... I have absolutely no experience in trucking. I'm looking for a completely different income from the factory worker I am now. Not sure how I would do in a Tractor Trailer, have read about straight trucks, but most I have seen in other forums totally dislike them. Please give me your thoughts. Also, If I decide to give it a shot, can someone tell me of a School/Company in KENTUCKY that will offer paid training to get my CDL's through them and also hire me as a driver? I really need someone's input. Should I get the thought out of my head or should I a different route? Help me decide. Thanks in advance to everyone that may take the time to reply to my post. I certainly will appreciate it..
