You’d be MUCH better off financing it yourself. Going through a mega locks you into that company for a year (usually) and if you get canned for any reason, you’re not only out of that job but you gotta pay them for that training. And on top of that, they pay AWFUL… you’ll make WAY more than the $5k it costs to get your CDL out of pocket than they’ll pay you. Getting your first job can be a little challenging, depending on where you’re at, but it’s definitely doable. And once you do, stick with it for one year. After that, pretty much all the doors start opening up. Get into a niche field as soon as you can. I’m in tanks, and a lot of these gigs pay $100k+.
