    Swift and Central Refrigerated run there own schools, CR England uses a school i think that they own but not sure, and USA Trucking, and Pam use driver solutions. Werner, FFE, May, And Trans Am will hire after completion of school. that is all of the ones that I know of.

    I would be very carefull going to a school run by the company you are going to work for. I've heard a lot of bad stories from people who did that. First they cost more than going to a privatley run school. And you may have to sign a contract stating that you will work for them until your debt is paid. Which may take up to a year. What happens if it don't work out and you want to quit. I strongly urge you to pay for school yourself even if you have to get a loan from a bank. If you do this this. Think about it. Starting out you may gross 900 a week. Now take out taxes,insurance,money for the road and then take another 100 150 a week for the school this will not leave you with very much money left. I would think about this ALOT.

    CRST has a school to with 8 month contract it all team driving though. but yes if you can pay out of pocket due so. look at local community colleges there school are longer but has better training and and more wheel time.

    If you are going to check them out online, why isn't it just as easy to go to their websites to see if they offer training?
