I want to go to trucking school but can't afford it so I need a loan to be able to go so I can get my CDL?

Question:I have looked for student loans but have not found one that loans for trucking school. I want to get my CDL but can't afford to go to one of the best trucking schools around which is Central Tech in Oklahoma. Does any one know how I can get the money to go to this school. I don't want to have to commet to any one trucking company just to go to school to become a truck driver. I need $8000.00 to go some of that money is to live on while I go to school the rest is for training and housing while I am there. The course takes 4 to 5 weeks

Answers:
You need to go to or call the Workforce Center in Sapulpa. It's right next to the Burger King and the Sapulpa Central Tech branch. Ask to talk to a WIA counselor (WIA stands for Workforce Investment Act). WIA will sometimes pay individuals who want to go to school in high demand careers such as nursing and truck driving. The counselor would be able to give you a better idea of the eligibility criteria and if you qualify. It's a pretty lengthy application process so it isn't something that is going to happen in one day, but I do know that Central Tech is an approved provider and have seen many, many people get funding from at that office. Good Luck!
I know the community college here in Tucson offers CDL training. I am sure student loans work there.
The absolute best way to get your CDL is to find a company that has both straight trucks and tractor trailers. You can start in a straight truck, prove yourself a good employee, and get trained to drive a tractor trailer. Then by the time you have your CDL you already have experience.
Going to the best school may or may not help in the job market. The real deal is to have 3 years experience with a clean DMV record. Then you can pretty much right your own ticket.
IF YOU WHAT TO DRIVE THE BIG RIG WITH NO MONEY,THE BEST WAY IS TO SIGN ON WITH A COMPANY LIKE SCHINDER NATIONAL THEY WILL TRAIN YOU AND GET YOUR LICENSE FOR YOU AND PAY YOU WHILE YOU TRAIN,ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WORK FOR THEM FOR ONE YEAR,THEN YOU CAN GO ANY WHERE.
Stay Away from private internet lenders(HOODLUMS) wanting $ up front for there phony advance fees.If they want $ up front IT'S A SCAM!!Never pay in advance for any loan.If they want $ upfront REPORT THESE HOODLUMS to the IC3 division of FBI and to your states ATTY. GENERALS office.Never send(wire) $ to NIGERIA,UK,CANADA!BEWARE OF THE ADVANCE FEE SCAM, NIGERIAN 419 SCAM!!REPORT THESE HOODLUMS!!!
