There are a couple of ways one can obtain a CDL license legally. 

1.  Find an accredited Technical College. Some local school boards offer a traing program wich may or maynot include "skidpan".

2.  If you have a relative or close personal friend,  who is an O/O. You can take Your IP  ( instruction permit )  written test @ the local DMV. and then have them teach you how to drive.

I went through A technical college in 96, and @! the time costs $ 700.00 and some change..  Good Luck !!

any school worth its salt should have contacts with trucking companies who come to visit students and who do presentations and pre-hires. They should also have a financial aide person on board that helps students figure out how to pay for their training.

for those of you that would consider yourself ' economically disadvantaged' or who have lost a job due to a layoff or plant closing in the last two years, you should look up  your local WIA (workforce investment Board) office and see if they won't fund you for free. In Illinois most of the WIA offices will fund trucking school although we prefer to do it at the cheapest place which is usually a five week or so course at a local community college or technical school. Still, the one in the peoria area cost our office about 3500 to fund a student. placement is pretty much guaranteed although most graduates have to 'pay their dues' by driving with a low paying company or over the road on long hauls until they build up enough miles to get a job with a better paying company  or one that puts them at home on nights and weekends- usually one to two years. IF you are a veteran, please go see your vet rep at the local state employment office for assistance. the WIA program has been around in every county, in every state, since post world war 2 - in my 25 years with it, it has been known as CETA, JTPA, and now WIA. It is federal job training money funneled through the states. good luck!
