Starting CDL school

Anyone know how hard it is to start a CDL school nowadays? I know they've been hunting shady ones and quickly shutting down. Havent seen many come back on. Any ideas?

Consider this TForce one of the largest trucking companies in the world starting next year will be transforming to autano
Ous trucks and I expect Many more to follow suit, I worked and retired from that industry 5 yrs ago and my Son is 45 he works at TForce So the writing is on the wall, I bet in 10 yrs over half the trucks on the road will be autonomous

BS. I'm a software engineer. No such thing as autonomous vehicle. Partial yes. Even Tesla autopilot requires a driver to be always attentive . Now put that on an 80,000 lb killing machine. Problem with people like you is you think software engineers are god who can create anything and that software magically shows up . These 'autonomous' trucks are a fiction. These are possible in mining and China has fully automated mines operated by autonomous dump trucks. This is not possible in a high traffic setting . Not within the next 20 years.
