There's always truck driving school, which is a bit expensive. However, if you're going to be driving a Class 8 straight truck - which tend to use unsynchronised manual transmissions, you really would be much better off going to truck driving school.

International manufactures Class 5 through Class 8 trucks.. what licence you need depends on what model you have. If the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (i.e., the max loaded weight) is 26,000 lbs. or less, you can drive it on a regular drivers licence. If it's rated at more than 26,000 lbs., you need a Class B CDL.
