| Hooking up a Company w/ my local CDL Training Outfit I have a nice Jr. College CDL Training Course (8wks - $4200) right here in my hometown. Only problem is I cannot afford it and cannot afford to take off work for 8 wks to complete it. Is there any way to hook up a Trucking Company like Roehl or Celadon, etc. with this training center and have them pay for my training like a contract deal? I wondered if anyone has ever tried doing this or heard of this being done? It would be great for me, I could stay home and attend this school and get paid while in training, then once done be under the standard contract to a company for a certain time. I know I could go to Indy or StL or Sage and do training school under contract to an outfit, but it would be much easier to do it locally.  |

| you could call them but most training companies have schools they all ready use and send students to. id say its worth a shot at worst youll get a no you need to go to this school. if you want to do it localy ask the company your looking at if they have a school they will pay for in your area.

| I don't know if you can afford to take any time off. But Roehl has a school in Marshfield WI and I believe its 3 or 4 weeks and once you complete the course you are gauranted a job.

| Yes, thanks. I just saw that last night on the web. I guess i am misunderstanding if they give you any pay while you're in cdl class or not. I guess probably not huh  ? I have them on the list of potentials (places that help pay for cdl training). Compiling this list isnt easy....  -Do they pay for cdl training, and whats their deal? -What reputation do they have? -Where do they run, thru home, terminals? -Do they have dedicated? -What do they pay? I know Roehl and Schneider, who else is out there to include that helps pay for cdl and then who hires newbs?  |

| Unfornatly I don't think a company will pay you while you are at school theirs or someone elses. I had to turn to my 401k to get my family through the school and I'm think another month till I have income coming in. I don't know if that is an option for you. But thats the way I had to go. I also took out enuf to pay for school so I wouldn't be tied to a company for 2 years.

 school training ... I know I am not in your area but I was in your situation not long ago. My local technical college offers truck driver training in three ways, day school during the week, night school during the week, and what I took was the weekend classes. Sat & Sun 12hrs for ten weekends. 8am-8:30pm with 30 min lunch 240hrs class work / driving |
