    Is there such thing as a list of all places, good and bad, which offer training/tuition reimbursement?

    It has been a royal pain finding trucking companies to start with, then having to figure out which ones will actually train you has just been a nightmare. So far I have tried to make my own list and it totally sucks.

    Incase anyone is interested though, here is my list so far (don't laugh)

    Averitt
    C.R. England
    CRST
    Marten
    Maverick
    Midwest (MCT)
    Roehl
    Swift
    USA Truck
    Willis (WSE)

    I know it isn't much, but it's a start. Does anyone know any other companies that will hire newbies and train them in return for a 1yr contract etc? Any help would be MOST appreciated. I never anticipated finding a decent starter trucking company would be anywhere near this hard.

    Try Schneider. I'm guessing that since trucking in general is slow right now, that you will certainly have a hard time finding anyone hiring. Good luck!!!

    Thanks guys for the suggestions. Sorry for not responding sooner. Life been a strugle lately, guess that's just how it goes.

    Thanks again, I really appreciate your feedback. If you got any more I can look in to keep 'em coming :D.

    Edit: Btw, panhandlepat, I love your signatures haha. Dave Ramsey is awesome, never heard that quote by him before. Definitely sums up a lot of his philosophey.

    At this time, Schneider is only hiring experienced drivers and has closed down their schools.
