I think driving a truck is the only option.....I've been applying to as many construction jobs as I can and nobody will hire me. Anybody know of any good Truck Driving Schools in the San Francisco Bay Area? Do they have assistance for paying for the class? Do I need to go to school? Can I get a job with a trucking company that will train me?

 

I just applied to Werner and C.R. England online.............wish me luck!

 

Well, "I quit my job" and tried selling cars.......that sucked
I think driving a truck is the only option.....

go with C.R. England

 

I just got an e-mail for a phone interview with C.R. England and it says says classes start in 4 days?.....WTF??.......that seems kinda quick!

 

Well do you want to drive a truck or not? And do a search for CR England and decide if you really want to go with them.

 

Do more research.

 

I've done more research and it seems that any company that will hire a person and train them sucks........I'm what they call "stuck between a rock and a hard place"........it's either that or jump off a bridge.

 

i dont know how you research your info, not all company that train also suck, yes they put out time and cash to train you and do hold you bye the balls to get the cost back from you. some will make you a emplorey and some will try and get you to pay there bills. i would be happy to surjrst were you should look to start......but your oping statment to this post tell me you looking for a pay-ck and not a carear. we have tomany ppl in this carear that are feeding the big company and bring down trucking and the way we were the heros of the roads or helping creat a bad image. not syting all that come into trucking today but most have no bussness out here. rethink why your doing this. its a difrent tyip of living not just a job. i grew up in a truck most the old timers did, dads,uncles and family. it was in the blood.

good luck my friend, think about what i said(not the best writer i know) run from CR. restate why you want to do this and you will get a lot better info as well direction from many others

 

Well CRE might get you closer to a bridge. If you go with them do yourself a favor. Pay for school do NOT finance with them. Visa or Mastercard are better slave owners.

 

Keep searching for companies that train. I know CR England has many complaints against them. If you have access to a truck stop pick up the free trucking magazines they are full of companies willing to train. Also will you qualify to drive? Do you have a clean driving record with no DUI's ? If its not clean dont even bother, you wont get employment. You can also try USA Truck, Schneider, I think they train as well. Good luck!
