    I'm currently employed so I'd have to quit my job have money to cover the cost if schooling and the time it took to get through and start getting a decent paycheck from a trucking company. Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of money in savings.

    Wow, I didn't know there were schools that offered weekends. I'll definitely check it out.

    Definitely worth a check. I would be surprised if you could not find this option. Good luck!

    Schneider owns Watkins-Shepard; you can ask about this at the Schneider recruiting event.
    Also ask if you live within the hiring area for Schneider Bulk(tanker division).
    Contact Prime Inc. and ask if you're in the hiring area for their tanker division.
    Now you have:
    Watkins-Shepard - via Schneider
    Schneider Bulk - tanker division
    Prime Inc. - tanker division
    Prime Inc. - refrigerated division
    Jim Palmer Trucking - refrigerated

    CDL school takes 4 weeks, and you can collect unemployment while you go.

    When did Schneider buy WS?
    I worked there 2 years ago, and they were privately owned.
