Western Express has a refresher program for people that already have a cdl. KLLM and Melton also have a program. Call their recruiters to get more details. I spoke with a Schneider recruiter, and it was three days at a school in Newport, Minn.,then go to Green Bay for the eighteen day orientation. I checked their jobs page and it now says that they partner with select schools. I plan to apply for this in July after I attend my grandson's hs graduation. For a guy like me with no experience living in South Florida it's not a bad deal. The only positions they have available are 3 weeks out 5 days home, and they fly you to which OC has more trucks than drivers. Recruiter was straight up about it. I'm going for it, and I'll post about it when it happens.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

I spoke with a Schneider recruiter today about that same opening.. 3 weeks out 5 days home but running up north in the winter would be hell on me with ice. I'm an amputee that gets around on crutches.

TruckingTruth was founded by Brett Aquila (that's me!), a 15 year truck driving veteran, in January 2007. After 15 years on the road I wanted to help people understand the trucking industry and everything that came with the career and lifestyle of an over the road trucker. We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.
Becoming A Truck Driver is a dream we've all pondered at some point in our lives. We've all wondered if the adventure and challenges of life on the open road would suit us better than the ordinary day to day lives we've always known. At TruckingTruth we'll help you decide if trucking is right for you and help you get your career off to a great start.
