In nw pa, know I'll have to go otr for at least the first year. I don't want to invest the 5 - 7k off the bat at a standalone trucking school. I've looked at pam, Roehl, and some others, but would like an opinion from been there done that drivers.
What's a good training and trucking company to start with?

If you want to do vans one of the best companies is Abeline also check with JB Hunt doing line haul. If you are willing to do tankers try Trimac and you will be looking st around 80k. Britton is another good company.
Now don't do megas and look hard locally first and you may find exactly what you are looking for. -
There is a Abeline my favorite company thread that is current. So pop in that thread and ask away.

Oops do you have a CDL? If not the best company to go to school for is Millis Transfer and and once on the road you should get home every weekend.

Or Prime for your CDL and Rhoel 3rd for CDL schools.

You don't have to go OTR unless there's just no local work around your area. Old Dominion Freight Line hires new cdl grads for local and line haul. The big money is with line haul. They recruit heavily all over PA. Many drivers, such as me, don't want local and prefer OTR.
Here's some trucking company cdl schools:
TMC
Jim Palmer Trucking
Carter Express
Maverick Transportation
You will need, original birth certificate and original social security card (not laminated). -

Many companies will reimburse you cdl school tuition if you attend a private or community college cdl school. Some reimburse up to $7000.00
Here's one example:
Freymiller (Restore Program) - Tuition reimbursement program for new cdl grads.
At Freymiller, we’ve got a special program for recent student graduates and for experienced drivers who’ve been off the road for a little while. -
