With the new cdl rules,youll most likely need to train in your home state,or use a relatives address in the state you want to train in.high mileage pay means nothing,if you dont get miles.Running team I gross $1500 on a good week.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
The better paying companies you're looking at may not hire "recent grads"/new drivers. So you get your 1 year in, well, for the lower pay, then after that year, move on.

I am living in maine but may relocate after a time I am looking for company sponsored training to get my cdl. I have been driving commercial class c for three years and have worked otr and on call driving different med duty trucks I have done some research on a few of the bigger companies and I understand that they don't pay as well and you are locked in a contract but they are training you at little to no cost to you so I am taking what the reviewe say with a grain of salt. I have put in a couple apps but looking to see if anyone knows any good companis that don't advertise as much
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
Company Sponsored Training:
A Company-Sponsored Training Program is a school that is owned and operated by a trucking company.
The schooling often requires little or no money up front. Instead of paying up-front tuition you will sign an agreement to work for the company for a specified amount of time after graduation, usually around a year, at a slightly lower rate of pay in order to pay for the training.
If you choose to quit working for the company before your year is up, they will normally require you to pay back a prorated amount of money for the schooling. The amount you pay back will be comparable to what you would have paid if you went to an independently owned school.
Company-sponsored training can be an excellent way to get your career underway if you can't afford the tuition up front for private schooling.
