    Here's a "cut & paste" from one of your threads back in July 25th:
    "You will have a Michigan CDL. After training, the trucking company you train with will route you home to Michigan so you can visit the DMV and switch your new cdl to a Michigan CDL. You have to do this because your domicile is in Michigan.
    Schneider and Roehl Transport have cdl school in Gary,Indiana, that's close to Michigan."

    So there's 2 right there; Schneider and Roehl.
    Here's some more; apply to all of them:
    Contract Freighters (www.cfidrive.com)
    Online Transport
    Prime Inc.
    Maverick Transportation
    Carter Express

    Keep in mind. Prime is biased against overweight drivers. They have a requirement that you must be able to do the duck walk to drive for them

    Well I was on the Schneider website today and found a section for wanting to earn a cdl. Applied for it even though I'm not not 21 yet and it went through so wish me the best of luck! Best part I will be in my home state for training. Thanks for all the answers so far!
