    Just a thought, but have you talked to your state unemployment people? There may be grants available to help you pay for some...if not all of the cost of CDL school.

    Prime Inc. has a nice program as well that you may want to look into.

    Thanks Streamer they were on the top of the list but I have been out of work for 6months and they told me I need to work at Taco Bell for 3 years and try again in 3 years. I hear good things about Prime so maybe the guy was having a bad day but at this time I would not call them back.

    Conway Freight starts at $21.30 FedEx $20.68 Conway Freight top pay right now is $25.40 and FedEx is $23.68. the one benefit at FedEx is you get OT after 40 hours Conway is OT after 50 hours. Both are good companies if your will to work.
    I start with Conway Freight May 4th so if you have any questions message me.

    Conway depends on where you work at. Conway southern has some pay issues when it comes to overtime. Anywhere else in the country then you get overtime daily after 8 hours. If Conway is offering to pay for your schooling then it is Conway truckload. They are the ones that offer reimbursement for school. That is a totally separate division of the company. They keep you out on the road and they don't pay as well as Conway Ltl.
