However, there are a handful of trucking companies that will reimburse new truckers for their training at a trucking school in exchange for a minimum amount of time that you promise to work for that company. I’ve also heard that some trucking companies would consider paying for your training as long as you promise not to join a trucker’s union, which oftentimes can tend to be easier said than done.

Your first step to becoming a trucker would be to look up how to get your CDL license. And you can also try searching the web for information on trucking companies that would be willing to pay for you to get your CDL license.
