    So refreshing to see a driver just wanting to get a decent job and not having all the usual "concerns" such as drug testing, prior convictions, court ordered sanctions, MVR problems, DAC, etc.
    Here is wishing you well in your latest "new" adventure driver.

    FFE (Frozen Food Express) has terminal in Chicago and also pays for cdl training. Lodging and meals provided. School is at Prairie State College.

    Millis is ok, but they only run eastern states. The problem is they don't have school in Illinois, so you will get a cdl in another state, then have to switch it to Illinois. The Illinois DMV loves to flunk people trying to do that.
    I'd go with FFE (Frozen Food Express) so you can graduate with an Illinois CDL.
