we attended class m-f 8 am to 4:30 pm. but we always left around 4:00.

no weekends, no nights. orientation is every monday @ 1:30 pm at the army depot off fruitridge and florin perkins.

some guys had night jobs while attending. many of us had alternate means off support while in school. like EDD, spouses, savings, etc, etc.

you will DOT drug test the first week so BE CLEAN!!! because a dirty test @ foodlink will screw you all up because it goes on DOT file. not saying it will be a problem for you. but the new classes usually lose 1 or 2 guys due to drug testing.

DOT physical is a breeze. you take so many practice test to prepare for DMV test , that you'd have to be a moron to fail.

you will test for all endorsements. doubles, tankers, passenger and hazmat. but they make it EZ to pass.

also forklift, CPR and first aid certified.

you are definitly gonna know if Truck driving is for you or not without risking thousands in trucking school.

with 6 weeks of local OTR driving internship, you get to drive foodlinks trucks usually 100-500 mile trips with a company driver training you.

the trucks are sleeper trucks with 48 ft trailers. so no wussy trucks to drive in. you get right down to it.

hope this helps. BOL.

Guy's please watch where you get your CDL from sure U can get a cdl in a week but you will not get the training you need to really drive the truck plus no real company is going to hire you if you got your CDL from a CDL mill.Spend the money get the training you need for your safety as well as those on the road with you.

Happy Holidays

Hope you get this slider, but I live here in Missouri and have been thinking about getting into trucking. Where on earth are these schools here in Missouri, and is anybody going to take you serious looking for a job when you tell them that is where you got your CDL?
