I cannot wait tell our truckies about this, would have been a hell of an April fools joke to print up a fake policy.

Rookie numbers, come back to SoCal for a summer. Better Hawaii than Mecca

Those all list agency affiliation or approved academy enrollment as a pre or co-requisite for the class. So OP, perhaps if the agency you're looking at will let you use a vehicle as per SRJC's policy or at least hire you pending completion of one of these, that might be your only option
