Local Job Possible?

Did some thinking after did the doable post. Went down to the local police station to find out some info.

I wanted the CDL before I started as something to fall back on. So I can get a job anywhere I go. I understand I still have time and am wasting it by bickering and whining like a child. So I have decided to find a trucking company. Stay there for 8 months to a year. Do my best to stay in shape and then go to police academy.

Yes Mr. Aquila, you are right.

I will just make the most of my time. I just hope they won't make me sign some kind of contract for having their training.

Well as far as the career thing goes I don't know where I fit really. When I was younger I had friends who were in the medical field. So I went to school to do that. Then some went to post office. They said it's good so I did that too. Then I found it was too boring and not enough of a challenge. I wanted more responsibility. Then some left the post office and became cops or satnitation workers. Knowing I only completed a year in college I realized I need another year before I can apply.

So now I will go otr. Make money. Come back have enough experience for a local job. Go to school while doing so. And try to get into the best shape I for this entire time.

I know it could be hard but I want it. And Im stubborn so I think I have the mannerism.

I just hope they won't make me sign some kind of contract for having their training.

Everyone that offers Paid CDL Training Programs will have you sign a contract for your training. Your basic choices are:

1) Pay for training yourself with a private truck driving school and then you won't be under contract once you find a job

2) Find someone else to pay your way through private schooling, like the unemployment office or WIOA (Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act)

3) Let a company that provides paid training pay for your training up front and then sign a contract to work for them for a specified amount of time.

No. I know that. I payed my way through a private school. I have one to a dump truck company and they could owner told mehe could train me how to operate the dump truck itself and do sample routes. I would have to stay long term with his company or I would have to pay a fee to get out.

What is the work called where the trailer has like a shipping container on it? Is that a specific type of work I can start doing? I like them because they are smaller than the 50ft trailer I trained on.

Troll.

Yep.

Inter model. I believe JB Hunt is the major player in that game worth checking out.
