There's community colleges and private truck driving schools out there - you just have to seek them out. Search engines are your friend here. As for finding a local job, if you're trying to find a local job driving a tractor-trailer, forget about it, greenhorn. No local company is going to touch you if you don't have at least one year of experience under your belt. You MIGHT be able to find a job driving a single axle box truck, or maybe even a dump truck (some major construction companies offer a training programme), but you need to get some experience under your belt before you're put behind the wheel of a tractor-trailer.
Here's what I suggest:
Rather than paying $3000 - $5000 for CDL truck driving school, grin and bear it for a year with one of these 'coolie carrier' companies as an over-the-road driver. Swift, Schneider, Werner, TMC, and several other companies offer truck driver training school. They absorb the cost if you work for them for a year after graduation. After that, you'll have experience under your belt, and will be better suited for employment with a local company.
