Thats SOP for trucking schools.
Also, the trucking school that I went to in Tucson (HDS) was also certified to conduct CDL Driving testing 'certification' for the road test portion* where they supplied the truck/trailer for a price (?), as well as offered a 'refresher course' aimed at former drivers.
* Their paying students had to test at the DMV as might have been seen as a conflict of interest ...

As for getting your CDL on your own, that is what I did. Got the government grant (WIA) they paid for school and then I was able to apply to any company who was hiring new students. Had about 7 or 8 prehires without any problem. Knight does their own school and from what I have seen its done well and I have seen drivers who definitely were trained worse. Its really all about what you want to do and if you want to have to repay the cost of the training or not. If you plan on working for Knight for a while then do their training program and see how it goes, if you plan on only hanging around for a few months or something or just want to keep your options open for employment then get your CDL on your own and then get hired. -
