man i got mine about 4 years ago and never used it. state paid for me to get it through the teamsters truck driving school. most jobs i looked into for starting drivers sucked. alot of hack jobs out there. but there is deferentially work if you got it. i didnt care if i got fired as a mechanic because i knew i could find a job quick with an A license.

i got lucky and got hired as a city worker and me having that A license paid off big time. i owe my job to it. i would recommend getting it.

Class A is a BIG plus in the moving industry. You could get a freight job or get a job working with a nationally known van lines like North American, Allied, National or any other van lines.

There are pros and cons IMO
1. If you get a ticket, personal or com.... No traffic school
2. Don't drink and drive...... Not one beer, you bac goes down to .04 ( I believe that's the exact # )
3. Get use to physicals because you need a medical card.
( every 2 years )

But if you are a responsible person, It's a great job to have. Trucks keep America going.
