Freedom At Work to Perform/ No Boss Breathing Over Your ShouldersTrucking gives you freedom at work as long as your performance is reliable. Life as a trucker requires you to be self reliant to a large extent. Of course if you stop making your pick ups and deliveries on time then you will start getting phone calls to see where you are at. This causes you to be a burden to a company instead of an asset which also means your dispensable.Note: No matter what you do or where you work or even if you like it or not, it is always in your best interest to do it to the best of your ability. You are pretty much given your bills when you leave from your pickup and you are told when to arrive at your destination. Some companies will give you the routing to take. Some of them don't. It's up to you to figure out how many hours you need to drive and at what time you drive. You do it how ever you see fit as long as you get to your destination on time and with in the legal guidelines.

Trucking Schools
The trucking school that is most suitable for you will depend upon your situation and location.
If there is a community college near you that may be the best way for you to get your CDL. The program will be under the evaluation of the education system and the cost should be cheaper than private schools.
You also won't have to pay back the trucking companies for training you for free. However, if you have to get free training at a trucking company, nothing wrong with that either, just know what you are signing. Also know that in most cases you WILL owe them money if you don't work for them for a certain amount of time afterwards.
Ask questions...
How long will you have to drive for them to pay off the training? What is the penalty for breaking contract? If possible, don't break the contract.
