Lookin' To Get My CDL
Topic 7342 | Page 1
Companies like prime have reps and recruiters, get online , its easy to find a phone number, they`ll be able to answer your question
Make a list of all of the questions and concerns that you have and then call a recruiter and ask them. Best of luck! I am currently in school, myself and although it is hard, I know that it will be worth it if I push through and get my CDL.
Hugs, Pepper

Hi everyone! I'm looking into getting my CDL right now since i just turned 21. I've been wanting to for a couple of years now but now that i'm of age i have other concerns. I'm currently getting my drivers licence. I wasn't able to afford driving school as a teenager and i'm just now able to start. I've been looking into doing paid training or go to the community college but i wasn't sure if i could even go to classes for it if i haven't even been driving for a year. Will this be a problem? Is there a experience limit? Also i have little work history in that I've only worked one documented job (for six months and it is retail) and i was a nanny before then and unfortunately i no longer have contact with the family to verify that i worked at all during that time. Will this look bad when i apply to a company? Thanks in advance for any help.
