This is pretty far outside the box, but I know for a fact that DisneyWorld in Florida hires bus drivers without a current class B and will fully train them and reimburse all DMV costs that the student incurs. The DisneyWorld class B bus driver training is 2-3 weeks. This includes full time and part time cast members. Driver pay is $12.65 per hour.
The state agency that handles everything related to your driver's licences, including testing, issuance, transfers, and revocation.
I don't know of any programs for a class B. However, if you get a class A, you can drive class B. Only holding a B will limit what you can do.

Hello everyone,
First off i DON'T have a CDL A or CDL B but...
I have been doing plenty of research for weeks now on CDL A and i understand what it takes to get a CDL A and what it pertains.
My question is.. I have contacted some companies here in New Mexico and they require a CDL B for straight commercial vehicles.. I am surprised many of these company's i contacted will straight hire you with the CDL B and with NO prior experience and I'm m assuming they will most likely train me if anything?? whats your input?? Is there good money to be made with a CDL B?? can you make as much as someone with a CDL A driving OTR??
One other question, Does anyone know of any companies out there that have paid training for a CDL B?? or should i ask is there a program similar to what PRIME does with there students?? Is there a company like PRIME but specializes in Straight Commercial Vehicles and has a student program like PRIME???
Thanks in a advance with all helpful information..

CDL:

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
OTR:

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
