Going to start CDL school soon, need some advice

As a brand new CDL holder -- your opportunities will be rather limited in the current CDL job market if you are located below the I-4 area.

Your best chance of a job may be going to a company run school. I believe KLLM/FFE is paying around $.50/mile. Check for rate of pay before committing because you'll be stuck with it for a year.

The website has 6 mos experience, but I also know the company sometimes hires a new cdl school grad. A few drivers on this forum went there right out of cdl school.
If you have less than 6 months experience AND have completed an accredited CDL school in the last 12 months, please return to the home screen on our webpage and click the 'student' tab and complete the application from there.
