Depends on what class licence you want, and what endorsements. The most broad, sweeping answer is to attend a truck driving school - most community colleges have such a programme, as do several trucking companies (Swift, Schneider, Werner, USXpress, Knight, C.R. England, etc).

The biggest thing which makes this the most feasible option is that you'll have to have a test vehicle available to you. Without have upgraded your regular Class C licence to a permit (it would read something like CPB for a permit for Class B testing, or CPA for Class A testing), you're not even supposed to enter a commercial vehicle, unless you get a company approved passenger permit.

Some jobs may provide you with all you need for a CDL. For example, if you're driving a one ton pickup carrying welding gases, you'll only need a Class C CDL with HazMat endorsement.

If you're going for a passenger endorsement with any class licence, you'll also need a test vehicle.
