These people are right. there a lot of good truck driving jobs out here but no one wants to provide any paid training. If its about insurance then get it. And paid training allows these people to pay bills etc. while they learn. One week of paid training is all any one should need. If you people in the business want and need new drivers, then this is a fast way to get them. Keep in mind that we have to crawl before we can walk. Personally I'd like to drive a dump truck for m.d. They plow snow!!! I already have a class ''a'' truck licence. I just need a good truck to drive with adjustable air seat and tilt steering wheel. The jobs that I'm looking for are as follows. ''a'' drop and hook no touch frieght, flat bed delivering building materail to different job sites, and last to drive a dump truck with good hourly wage of $16-20 bucks per hr. And weekly pay.

Looking for experience, try construction companies. Specifically utility construction, there is plenty of work for these companies, most of them own their own trucks and want drivers to put on salary. I work for one in Bucks county Pa, and not only are we always looking for cdl a drivers but many of our business pears are as well. They are usually more willing to train and allow you to get some good behind the wheel experience, many also do there own maintenance so you may even get to turn a wrench on down days. Sometimes working for a solid smaller company can be more rewarding both financially and emotionally, good luck

Hey Lucky in Newtown, PA...What are some of the names of those companies? I live in Schuylkill County and am looking for an outfit that is willing to train. I have some experience driving and maintaining the big trucks (I have a Class 7 PA State Inspection License). Any help would be greatly appreciated!
