Have you thought about Paid CDL Training Programs? Some require zero upfront and pay you during training. Just a thought. Good luck.

Thanks for the info. Still haven't gotten a call back from Dawn, but we also don't have the license yet either. Hope to get those Friday.

My hubby passed his state exam last Tuesday on his first try. Myself it took three times, but I finally did it. We are now trying to raise the money to get our licenses and are excited to get started on our new career.
But it is funny how $32 seems like a million when you need it bad.
Just wanted to update everyone. Drive safe and see ya on the road.
