Pennslyvania Trucking
You will find Pennsylvania trucking companies below that are hiring qualified people to haul their freight. These trucking jobs may be local, regional or over the road. They may be dedicated, which means they run the same routes consistently, or trips that vary after each delivery. To see if there is a local trucking company hiring in your area look at the city. If you don't see your city listed search for your city trucking jobs will show if they are available. Jobs by SimplyHired  Trucking in Pennsylvania though requires a driver to pay close attention to what he/she is doing. Most of the terrain is hilly or mountains of varying grades. Plus there is a lot of wildlife crossing the roads. The weigh stations that I am most familiar with are usually in rest areas and are almost always closed but when they are open they can be pretty thorough. You will see a sign at the rest area sign that says whether the weigh station is open or closed. Rest areas may be patrolled by law enforcement. In some areas idling laws are enforced.

CDL Training
The best route to your CDL depends on your situation.
If there is a community college near you, it may be your best choice. 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.

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.
