    Welcome aboard, Infofrog, and howdy neighbor. I'm from your neck of the woods. Mt. Vernon to be precise. To the best of my knowledge, Vincennes is the closest CDL school in our area.

    To the best of my knowledge, yes.

    There might be a private school in E-ville, and you might be able to get the state to pay for it. However, unless that school brings a state examiner in to test their students, Vincennes is the only state CDL testing facility in our area.
