What are my chances of getting a job if I get my CDL through private lessons?

I can't afford an accredited trucking school. But, I do have a private instructor in my area ($85hr.,$225 truck rental for DMV testing). I've been doing some endless web searching about who to drive for (after getting my CDL) and they all seem to say the same thing...."after graduating an accredited school"..OR.."after graduating OUR school". What the heck? Will I even be able to get a job if I get my CDL through private lessons?
