    Based on initial research it seems most of the US carrier-based CDL school options are located East of I-35. Curious if anyone is able and willing to share your recommendations for 1) solid carrier-based CDL schools West of I-35 or 2) a quality carrier with a CDL school anywhere but whose drivers are able to log an overwhelming majority of their 2.5k+ weekly miles while running OTR West of I-35?

    Check out both the Bryan and Abernathy academies here:

    DRIVER ACADEMIES | wdtmilk.com

    Many of their driving opportunities are all over the southwestern US....much past I-35.

    This will ALL be food-grade tanker duty.

    Most carriers once you start your training on the truck won't get you within 500 miles of your domicile until it's completed.

    Cuts way down on escape attempts.

    Go to Pride Transport, or try anyone based in the west, or has a terminal in the west.

    The Smart Trucking OG was advocating for them at one point. But I thought they were only for experienced drivers?
