if i were to buy an old tractor and trailor and teach people to drive so they could get their CDL and get a better paying job.
i imagine finding the right kind of students would be the most difficult problem. i dont want freeloaders who wont do anything with the skills i will be investing my time and money in giving them. ...id like people who are trying to make it but just cant and need some extra help. maybe some churches could help me locate these type of people.
what do you think about this? would i get any tax breaks or anything like that because this would be for charity? do you think the students would benefit from something like this?
I would like to be in control of my own charity but i dont want to waste my time and money. ...so what do you think?

your idea is great, but focus less on the money part, yes you would probably receive a tax break but I would call the IRS first to find out, if the students are unwilling to learn have them leave, or have them take a test to see how dedicated they are to getting a better job for a better life.

You'd have to register as a charity in your state. To find worthy people, go to employment office, not the welfare agencies. You'll find people who are looking for work but can't find it because they lack job skills. good luck.

Your idea is a good one but you seem to be focusing on the money too much.
