    In Obamaville, it's easier to get a variety of welfare handouts then to get job training aid. I feel for any new driver wannabe with zero cash to their name, contemplating the options and known realities, the possible realities, and the unknowns.

    Dude, don't take this wrong but you want to be a truck driver with no other skill to offer the company (in reality their customer) other than driving a truck and have them pay for your part of working for them, seriously?

    The harsh reality is no company will do this for you unless you have something very special to offer them and in this industry, much of the problem is our professional standards are low enough that too many get trapped into thinking that making $50k is great money and don't do anything else with their career.

    It doesn't matter what you think they will make off of you, you're are there to service their customer and not expect to be treated as the same as the customer.

    Yea, but if you pay on your own, they reimburse you every month and you have the option to leave if you want

    My previous employer did all that,and they paid for me to be a tourist in exotic countries too. You should contact a recruiter, they have them in most locations :-D
