Advice Needed for CDL Training and Choosing the Right Company!!
Hi everyone,
I am seriously considering a career in trucking and could use some advice. I have been researching CDL training programs and noticed there are a lot of company sponsored options out there. While the “free training” sounds tempting; I am worried about getting locked into a contract with a company that may not be the right fit.

Any tips on questions to ask recruiters or things to watch out for during training would be greatly appreciated. I have also gone through this thread https://www.truckingtruth.com/truckers-forum/Topic-20258/Page-1/extremely-new-to-trucking-and-need-some-advice-kubernetes/ it helped me a little but still need some tips and advice.
Looking forward to hearing your insights and learning from experienced truckers here !!
Thanks in advance for your help.
