School requires prehire letter to start

AIT in phoenix requires a pre-hire letter before you can start school.
I went yesterday too three different schools AIT Phoenix and Southwest out of the three schools AIT impressed me the most the whole time I was there driving around Phoenix I saw their trucks actually out on the roads also when I asked about Hill training none of the other schools do it AIT takes you up to Sunset Point and takes you down to its about a 10-mile 6% downgrade
My school's paid for through the workforce here in Arizona.
I have a clean MVR no convictions no drugs I haven't worked since 2005.Great work for the Transportation Security Administration I've been a single stay-at-home dad since then I'm supporting myself from a small pension and inheritance I want to go back to work pay off the house cars and credit cards.
I could use any and all suggestions on companies that might be interested in hiring me and getting a pre-hire letter
I live in Show Low Arizona it's about 41 miles from I-40.
I know a pre High letter is an actual guarantee for a job but the school requires it so I would like to get that but I also really like to see who would be a potential hire for me any help would be appreciated thanks.

 

They say it's because of them being accredited they have to place so many people with jobs doesn't make sense to me their adviser said you can't go here just to go will turn you away even if you're paying cash unless you have pre hire. maybe they get some kind of funding or kick back for pre hires. AIT is also owned by werner don't know if that may be why
Thank you for the list Chinatown it helps get kind of overwhelmed searching

 

I know about dollar general I see those guys unloading here in show low all the time. At AIT the adviser kept mentioning werner I told him really wasn't interested in werner unless last resort. I stopped by again today and lucked out talked to deb director of career services she told me werner might be problem due to no recent work history gave me a few companies with recruiters names she works with. I will apply to any one I might have a shot and sort them out at graduation time.
I drove trucks most of the 5 years I was in the Army, was supposed to be heavy equipment operator wound up driving truck more than operating equipment. I drove Jockey truck for 2 years after I got out at georgia port authority that was fun 15 hr days. I want to go OTR for 3 to 5 years finish paying off house and car my pension and inheritance pays all my bills So trucking will be extra to do that with and OTR I won't be home to spend it. Thanks again and if you think of anything else please feel free to offer advice i will post more as things progress
