I don't have any specific names, but checked with my s/o, who is in law enforcement and he said the best way is to enroll in a truck driving school. Check your options, because different ones offer different bonuses, etc

I have two brothers who have their CDL They started out driving log trucks. Now they own 4 tractor and trailers. I have heard good things about a company in Allentown (I think) called Pascal Trucking L ( I cant remember what the L word is) But the trucks have PTL on them as well as Pacal Trucking L (something)
