Yo I need to be put on game brehs. I've been BS around about getting my class A CDL for like 4 months now

I'm trying to bounce up out my grocery store job but shyt I don't wanna go to another Life less job (burger king,cvs,wallgreens,wendys ect.)

So how did yall get the content to stick with you?? I'm trying to study on my own but I'm struggling here brehs

why not go back to college? sounds like u could go to CC for free with financial aid

Yeah I agree. 3 ways to get your CDL education for free

- Community college/Financial aid
- Workforce unemployment grants
- One of the big Trucking companies puts you in their training program, and you sign a year contract, and they take it out your check little by little

I prefer to go through a company. It seems more direct and and I sign a contract and start making money immediately after.

I'm applying to CR England right now

You got that phone interview cause all the people in this thread ignored their calls . But seriously, they are horrible

CR England, Swift, and CRST are by far the worst companies to work for. Many reasons

- Promises of good pay for an entry level Driver, but they would lie and pay you like $300 a week and give every excuse in the book why you got paid that
- Dispatchers are your dictators. Have you going to a load in Maine, then tomorrow want to go to LA, then after, go to NY
- The hometime they promised never comes through. If you're supposed to be home every 2 weeks, you'll be home every 3 weeks
- They would hire anybody cause their turnover rate is huge
- They would treat you horrible whenever something in your truck breaks down. Have you stranded in some small town waiting for 3 days till your truck gets fixed
- I heard Swift started having cameras and voice recorders in the trucks

Go on Google, Craigstlist, and Indeed right now. There are at least 15 companies who would take a truck driver with 0 experience. Apply online and they'll call you ASAP

Honestly, I would still do the phone interview. But keep them on ice, hold them off until you find something better, and use these 3 as your absolute last resort

Thank Y'all for the advice. Brehs in here flowing helping a young breh out!


After my phone interview today imma search around indeed for different options.

That $300 a week is

Especially considering I make $394 a week at my current spot.

I used the CDL prep and DMV Genie apps on Android and constantly did the tests until I wasn't missing questions. I'm terrible at remembering shyt but I passed combination written with 100%. I've had air brakes for 4 years so I didn't need to take that
