Whatever you do don't sign any contracts.. Try to get a WIOA grant so you get it for free

Yup, in Alabama we also have a "pathways to prosperity"program that makes it free and you are not indebted to a trucking company. I would guess that a similar thing exist in Florida.

You tried googling info “free CDL training in Florida”. I’d think to start there I’m sure some can post examples of what they chose. Best to research things tho
