No one ?

I got certified myself by going to a Third-Party-State-Examiner to take the test after going to the driver's licence office to take the CDL tests. I did not see myself being able to afford the truck school tuition. I had no idea that some truck companies would of paid for my training back when I first started. The road I took, doesn't teach me things of over the road stuff / weight stations / etc.... What should I do at this point? Should I just start over and go to one of these schools?............ Thank you for any and all input.........

I am in the same boat as you. I have the CDL but no experience or truck driving school. According to Swift, after a 3 day orientation I will be on the road with a mentor.

How many of you guys/gals here drive OTR and have a child/children that live with the other parent? I am on a standard "every other weekend" plan with my 3 yr old daughter and am looking to possibly start a career in trucking. While I know my time off won't always fall on the weekend that I have visitation I would like to hear from others who deal with this. My child's mother says she will work with me on visitation but her home is an hour away from mine so overnight visits during the week will almost be impossible once she starts Pre K in the near future.
