How do you start to get your CDL Licence?

Answer 1

Swift Trucking is a large company in Gary IN near Chicago that offers training for free with a 1 year committment.

Consider CRST who does the same for a 6 mo. committment. That is where I went to school.

Many companies do this and at classadrivers you can search jobs and check the level of experience they require. For instance, you have 0 years and would be a student. Many train you with no money down. These I mentioned plus Pam, USA Truck, Stevens, etc. Just make sure you can afford to be at school for 3 weeks to a month and then work for a week or two with no income. You will get some, but not much at first. But, I now make 50,000 a year and went to school in Oct 05. You can do this!!

Search the following sites too.
