    You might look at it from another view. Pick a company you want to work for and ask them to recommend a school they hire from regularly.

    Also check your state Department of licensing or DMV.... There are a lot of schools out there they will not accept to issue your CDL.

    good luck!

    Some companies are picky.
    For example; Superior-Carriers only hires from certain schools. If you want to work there, call and ask which school they hire from in your area.

    I will definitely do that monday. I was thinking I could call the school I went to but calling the company itself is a better idea. I could also get an idea if they're hiring at the moment too.

    I looked it up and you are correct for WA. .

    As far as i knew There were no federal standards in place that REQUIRED any kind of training to get a CDL..

    There aren't FEDERAL standards, that's a state standard. Every state has its own standard. Most do not require schooling, like you thought.
