Profile For Cynthia A.

I have decided to get my CDL at the age of 50, soon to be 51 on 9/22/18. I have been in the banking industry for 19 years and completely burned out. I need a change bad!!! I never thought about being a truck driver before. Until I was looking at the career for my husband,I stumbled on women who were driving trucks. The more I researched,I starting thinking this is something I could do. I had the idea that I could team with my husband, but he has backed out of the idea. That's okay because I am determined to get my CDL and start driving as soon as I can. I need to tie up some situations at home before I go to training. I'm trying to decide if I should stay local at Sage Truck driving school, which cost about $4700. Go to Prime(no cost for 12 month commitment) or Millis Training Institute(about $2400 reimbursed after 18 months). I have researched these companies for weeks now and having a hard time making a decision. Any advise would be appreciated.

I myself am 47 I will be starting CDL training at my local community college 6 week course. It will cost me 3500 I am paying for it myself. I thought by paykng for it myself it will give me more options on companies to choose from. I cound have gone to school at a 3 week course but I wanted more instructional time. I will be leaving a job I have had for 22 years self employed. Time for something new.
