This is only my advice. I have had my CDL-A since 1991 and have been out there and done it. Went off the road due to family matters and then in the past couple of years have been trying to get back on for OTR. I'm in good health, Good MVR, and Good Employment HX. Went back to school and spent $4,500.00 and for the last two years I have had no offers. Nobody is hiring but they will take your money for school with no guarantees. My advice for now,as much as I like Trucking, is to save your money. Get a company to sign you on before going through school. School is just another buisness to get your money. I have to go through school again if I want to get back on the road. I'll be glad to do it if I can get a job offer. I must put in 20-30 applications every week with no offers. How much schooling can you have? It's like riding a bicycle. I have no problems passing a road test, but I'll do whatever a company wants me to do to work for them. Good Luck Out There
