    I know there are lots of companies that have their own driving schools and will train you if you sign a contract with them. Roehl is one I was most considering since their school is only a few hours from where I live. My question is do they pay you any money while you are in the school?

    I believe you get paid while you are out with trainer. Don't believe they pay you while you are in school.

    It's not going to be what you think.....Go to the school and talk to people who work there and pick their brains....what about housing, food, transportation. Ask important questions like how long do you have to work to pay off the student loan. How much interest are you paying. It might be cheaper to take out a 2nd Mortgage.....LMAO! You are going into debt....before you earn a penny.

    You will not get paid until you have your CDL.
