Go with Swift then after your obligation switch to a company that has local or regional options. Here's a couple with Western Regional plus CA terminls:

trans-system
Watkins & Shepard

When you leave Swift there will be much more to choose from on the Careerbuilder website.

 

Schneider is a good company they also offer different home time options such as I just started and get to go home every week they also offer 2 weeks out 1 week home

 

Why not reapply at UPS with your CDL --seems like they would have everything you want -good pay and home nightly.
Sorry- i see you are looking to get your CDL but still doesnt UPS send you to -or train their drivers ?

 

With schnieder yes you have to have your cdl before hand but if you need the school swift offers it or you could go threw a outside school like I did with road master and go with a company that does tuition reimbursement which schneider does I have worked for swift then went schnieder can say swift was ok when I was on a dedicated account but if not pay was very well I get better pay with schnieder as well as a much better truck 2013 instead of 2008 but they where fair I was home weekly with swift as we'll cause I was dedicated brought home about $650 weekly

 

I believe Swift is based out of Phoenix,Az. Most companies handle getting you to them when coming
to them for a company driver position. From experience, talk to the drivers of the company you're looking
at in the area you live in. They are a good source of information on what to expect. For the school question
I would recommend calling Swift direct and ask those questions. Be sure to ask about reimbursement
for school. I've heard Prime has a program to help you get your CDL through them with a commitment to
drive for them for a certain period. I don't know anything about their operating area. Just throwing in
suggestions as possibilities. Good luck!
