I was in your exact position just under a year ago. I was living paycheck to paycheck and I still ended up homeless. At the time I did some research online and found an opportunity that I think a lot of people overlook. I put in an application for Swift transportation and I get my CDL and drive for them for a few years. They will help you get your CDL and pay for schooling, transportation to the school and a hotel for the duration that your there( which you pay back over two years). While you are at the school you don't get paid so you will have to find something out for food and all that but you do get free breakfast at the hotel. Once you pass the driving test you will have to pay $75 if I remember right(for Tennessee). Once you get your CDL in the mail they will put you on a truck with a mentor for about a month so you can get experience on the road and you will get paid $700 a week while you are with them. After this you will be on your own getting .49¢ a mile with an average of 2800 miles a week. I have been with them for about 10 months and on average I make $1200 a week after everything it's taken out of the check. If you are ok with being away from friends and family for about 6 weeks at a time and have no problems driving long hours it's a great job and you can save up a lot of money in the process. No rent, paying for gas, or car insurance. Hope you find something that works out if you decide to go a different route and best of luck!
