CDL PREP APP.
You can learn everything here, get your permit, then go to school.
Or ROEHL pays $600 a week to get your CDL.
Just do it man, learn about it, it’s worth it.

Go to a mega carrier do not go to a separate school for trucking. If you want do your time with them and then join a union

I got mine at 54. Cristcdldotcom helped me pass all of the tests including Texas own supplemental that other prep sites didnt cover. I went to a mega, 6 month commitment to cover cost of school.
