is it silly to want to take my mom to small claims?? Heres the situation…they lent me a truck to drive cuz my car broke down. My mom knew i was unemployed and only had enough money for rent. She threatened to report the truck stolen if i didnt pay her $500 for the truck. I told her the $500 i had left was goin towards rent which was $545.00. I ended up buying the truck cuz i need transportation to and from interviews for potential jobs. She was supposed to give me the title to the truck, but never gave it to me. I was unable to find a job in time, and had to move out still owing for one months rent cuz i didnt give a full 20 days notice. So i had to move back down to olympia with my stepdad. ( my parents are still going thru a divorce so it was just me and him ) Now, because i had to move…to a different county, my bills quickly piled up including one months rent still owed.
Greetings all, from CDL B Jobs. Driving a truck for a living can be rewarding and at the same time quite challenging. The lure of the open highways has convinced many an individual to pursue a career as CDL truck driver. We will try to discuss some of the pros and the cons in this article in regards to truck driving careers and acquiring a CDL truck driving license.
Initially, one has to consider the costs. The majority of truck driving schools have been steadily increasing their student rates, as demand for work in a tough economic climate has been increasing. The best advice we can give is to shop around for a commercial driving school in your area that is reputable, and decently priced. Let’s face it, this is a lifetime investment, and you don’t want to short change yourself.
Let’s talk about the job itself. Commercial truck driving can be quite stressful, especially if you consider the time on the road, and the time spent away from your family and friends. Not to mention that the roads seem to be getting more and more congested with “Amateur” drivers that do nothing but create havoc. You could see I am biased.
These are just some of the factors to consider before entering a career as a CDL truck driver. We figured we would give you some of the cons up front. Our next article will discuss the pros, of which there are many. From all of us at CDL B Jobs, we wish you the best of luck.
I have found lots of school for trucking where u have to pay out ur pocket instead of getting financial aid.I was wondering is there any other way to pay for it.

CDL B JOBS
I know I have to take a test for it but do I get all the info. from the local DMV? Is it a long test? Does it cost me anything?
:
I have to renew my class A CDL in a couple of months. I currently have a passenger endorsement that is restricted to a Class C from an old job. Since I’m renewing, I would like to get the restriction off just to have every endorsement on my license for bragging rights. However, a school bus that test sites use are only good for a class B plus S, thereby still leaving me with a restriction. Know of any sites that have a large Class A bus? It would probably have to be an articulating bus. Companies that operate them provide the vehicle for testing for their employees, but I need one to rent to take the test. I live in Indiana but will travel because the state accepts out-of-state-test.
My boyfriend needs his CDL class B license. He has no money for CDL school and has tried to get a WIA grant for school but they say their are no funds ect…
So if he goes to a school bus company that trains you and you get your CDL then you quit the next day, does the company have any right to take the CDL away ?
It is issued by the state so I would think they have no right to take the license away.
Only thing I can think they could do is maybe have him sign something that says they would charge him if he just ups and quits.
He has a job lined up he just needs the B license.
My brother is 24. My family moved to Florida the year after he graduated HS. He was okay with it. He worked part time jobs in the mean time until he started college at 20. He’d only go in the spring because it’d give him medical insurance for the whole year until 23. He’d drop 1/2 the classes he took because he was lazy. He than gave up on college and wanted to get his CDL license to drive a truck. He has stalled on getting a CDL B for 2 1/2 years though because he didn’t do well for CDL A (tractor trailer) even though they refunded his money. He thinks no one would hire him until he’s 25 for insurance. In the last 15 months, he’s only worked one month (with Fed Ex job seasonally during Xmas). He still spends a lot of money going on small vacations. He ran up $5,000 in credit card debt in 1 year. Throughout most of that time he said he wouldn’t work any job unless it was one he wanted (mainly truck driving).
He and my dad hated Florida and cried about wanting to move home. My dad didn’t like it because of work. We went back to NJ. My parents maintained owning their home down there though. My parents and I want to move back to Florida if they can like up work. My brother blames my parents for destroying his life (even though he has nothing here and we live an hour from where we used to live). The home in Florida is beautiful (2 levels, has a pool, gated community). The home in NJ is not that nice.
My parents said they’d never charge either of us rent. My dad said he’ll continue to pay for his car insurance. He said he’ll even pay our gas and motels to get us down there (I’m 21). My brother thinks my dad should pay for him to go on a vacation to West Virginia to meet a girl off the internet. He thinks my dad should give him money to go back up to NJ and visit. He said he’ll come up every 6 weeks either way even if he’s not working. He said he’d consider living in AC 4 days during the week in hotels (getting free comped rooms but he has to pay tax) and live in his car the other 3. I told him he has it made compared to most 24 year olds. I said he should be greatful he has patient loving parents. I said you’re choosing to move at your age. No one is making you. Most people think he should seek counseling.
i have a cdl a,b,c,d, with triples.. i have experiance with class b (about 7 yrs)
but no experiance with class a… i am looking for either local or otr … but no one will hire me because i have very little experiance.. were can i go to find someone who will hire little experiance??
is there any websites or companys that place you out there??
My job wants me to get my CDL Class B, with Air Brakes…. So, I’ve been studying, and am ready to take the test… now.. do I need to have taken a medical examination before taking my general knowlegde test for my class B temps?
Also, I need the Air Brake endorsement… there is a 25 question test for that… can I take that at teh same time of my general knowlegde test…? Do I have to wait? Do I have to wait till I pass my road test? The WI website doesn’t address any of this, and I’ve been on hold at the DMV for 30 minutes… it’s almost like they want you to come in and find out you can’t take your test….
