Title: Is it worth it for me to get my CDL? Post by: mikeE36 on July 28, 2008, 02:33:30 AM I'm 20 and a full time student. I've been searching everywhere for a decent part time job but so far no luck. Is it worth it for me to get a cdl? Are there more jobs available with one?

Post by: LTR450 994 on July 28, 2008, 07:13:42 AM its always worth having a cdl class B or A, but on the down side is that you would have to drive for a small company until you get a few years experiance before you can apply at a larger company with much better pay and benefits.

You could also gain the experience by going to work for one of the larger carriers and work as a team driver (although that can be a very negative experience if you don't have the right lead driver). After you get some solid experience, then you can get a decent job driving local for someone like Sysco Foods. |
