    The advanced Search button on top is your friend

    But from the above choices from what I've read on here it would have to be prime

    I went through Prime's training to get my CDL.. From everything I saw they have an exceptional training program -- just be prepared to stay out for a month at a time when you're with your trainer.

    Prime trains you on every aspect of driving that you need to know. From actual driving, to logbooks, to all the load-related paperwork.

    Also, there was no payment required, up front or otherwise. If I remember correctly, they would take a small amount out of each paycheck for a year, or something like that. If you quit before the year is up, then you would have to pay them back a pro-rated amount.

    I suggest you talk to a recruiter (for each of the companies you're looking at) to get more detailed information. If they tell you something you don't understand (or don't quite believe), then run it by the folks here for some verification.

    Nashville Auto Diesel College - excellent school.

    Prime is good & so is Central Refrigerated. They both have excellent reputations for good training.
