Do you have to live near your terminal?
I'm exploring whether truck driving could be a option for me, given that I am in my 50s and never worked in a job even remotely related to trucking. In other words, apologies in advance for my dumb questions... On your website I noticed several companies that offer CDL training indicate they hire from the lower 48 states yet their terminals/drop lots are only in a few large cities. How does this work if you live hours or even states away from your employer's hub/terminal? I live in Southern Arizona, about 4 hours from Phoenix where a few companies have a terminal/drop lot. I can't visualize hopping in my car and commuting four hours each way to the terminal when I may only be getting a day or two off at a time. Hopefully I am missing the obvious here. Thanks.
Did you know you can fill out one quick form here on TruckingTruth and apply to several companies at once for paid CDL training? Seriously! The application only takes one minute. You will speak with recruiters today. There is no obligation whatsoever. Learn more and apply here:

Thanks everyone. I appreciate your advice and input. Sounds like I need to do more reading and researching about your line of work. This early on I am still trying to figure out what questions I need to be asking. The private CDL schools provide a rather rosy picture so I most definitely welcome a good reality check. Thanks much.
