CDL Permit Jobs In Oregon
Topic 29690 | Page 1
Hey, Aaron, that's a step in the right direction. Permit + Medical = ready to go to CDL school.
You will probably not be hired, but many companies will put you through CDL school to get you the license. Then you get hired! Check here:Paid CDL Training Programs, then Apply For Paid CDL Training. The fun part is you get to say "No, Thank you!" to some companies when you make your pick. This is probably the best way to the full CDL ticket. You can also pay your way through school then many companies will refund you the tuition (over one year or so, not one check payable to you.)
Do not worry about getting hired with a permit. The implication is that you need the required training to get the full CDL license. Those Paid CDL Training companies know that and can handle it.
