I'm interested in trucking but I have no idea where to begin. Can someone give me advice to help me avoid the pitfalls and get started?
I don't think so. I mean there's the indentured servitude route. I think @Injun might've went that way with Swift, or maybe Prime. I don't remember.Thank you. Sadly, those imbeciles you spoke of are everywhere. Is there not a way to get a CDL without attending a trucking school or community college?
any school is only going to give you enough education to pass your CDL with the state.Thank you. Sadly, those imbeciles you spoke of are everywhere. Is there not a way to get a CDL without attending a trucking school or community college?
It deends on the State. Washington requires training, Idaho requires you pass the tests.Thank you. Sadly, those imbeciles you spoke of are everywhere. Is there not a way to get a CDL without attending a trucking school or community college?
Swift. But it's not Swift anymore. It's Knight now.I don't think so. I mean there's the indentured servitude route. I think @Injun might've went that way with Swift, or maybe Prime. I don't remember.
Are you saying Knight bought Swift?It deends on the State. Washington requires training, Idaho requires you pass the tests.

Sort ofAre you saying Knight bought Swift?
Ok. I didn't know they merged. That makes sense now. I wonder if they will use one company name for each division in the future.Sort of
Knight and Swift merged into a single management company with the actual operations kept separate in name only. One of the Knight boys is CEO of Swift now. I'm sure you've noticed the new Swift logo with the lightning bolt S on a shield. The shield is a nod to Knight.
Lightning bolt? I thought it was a snail trail.I'm sure you've noticed the new Swift logo with the lightning bolt S on a shield.

Lightning bolt makes more sense.
Hell with that commune college shitThank you. Sadly, those imbeciles you spoke of are everywhere. Is there not a way to get a CDL without attending a trucking school or community college?
Community college is a good way of going about it. It's like paying someone for their time and truck, except they were taught how to teach instead of being some fool with no patience.Hell with that commune college ****
Try findin a smaller kind of drivin school that gots trucks. They out there... just gotta do a little huntin.... and you save a boatload without havin to sign on no dotted lines
They charge a damn fortune thoCommunity college is a good way of going about it. It's like paying someone for their time and truck, except they were taught how to teach instead of being some fool with no patience.
No more than a company or private school will. Most likely less too.They charge a damn fortune tho
For the most part, my insurance company won't let me hire with less than two years at renewal time. So if you come to me with 14 months in August, have the right experience/training, you'd likely get hired as you'll have 2 years by next renewal.I believe most places these days have insurance companies that are not going to allow drivers off the street CDL or not without schooling or experience but that is what I hear not fact based. I also hear you can still work on a farm tag and not even hold a CDL
Kankakee Community College charged me $3250 in 2004They charge a damn fortune tho
