Which OTR still offers CDL training?

Hello. 1st post here. I am unemployed in UT and want to find a company willing to train a noob to get his CDL and put him to work. I have heard about CRE and it's reputation, but they do offer training with little upfront money. Weighing my options, with no money for training, should I commit, or are there other carriers that are willing to train. Checked with Watkins/Shep, they no longer provide training as of 11/2009.(website should be updated to reflect that). Here is my situation: Unemployed, no wife. Losing my house, and cars will be repo'ed in the coming weeks/months. Don't care about home time, just want to work and provide for my 2 kids. If not England, then who? Sorry if this has been posted before, with the economy the way it is, I'm sure I am not the1st (or the last) to have these questions... Thanks for your advise!

 

Thanks. I will check with my local unemployment office on Mon. (they are closed today) to see what they offer in assistance. If I go this route, it does open more opportunities, as I won't be commited to working off my training with a carrier that may or may not have my best interests in mind. This is a good option. But my question still remains: Any other Carriers that will front the CDL training in exchange for a job? Thanks again.

 

Thanks all for the insight. Swift will reimburse, but I have to pay up front. If I can't swing a loan for tuition from unemployment, I'm gonna have to figure out something. Anyone need a kidney?

 

Thanks for mentioning Prime. From what I read on the forums here, they tend to give a noob an honest chance to succeed. I'll put CRE in my rearview, and see what Prime and I can work out. Thanks again
