Can't Decide on Training/Company for FL Newbie

I've been reading on here and researching companies until I think I'm more confused now then before I started
Been in engineering and land surveying the last 10 years, market stinks here and I'm ready to do something new. I want to get the ball rolling asap.
I DO NOT have a CDL and am looking for a company that will train. My other concern is finding a good company that is either in my general area (Brooksville, FL) or one that hauls freight here somewhat regular, regional would be ideal. I would like to make it home weekly or at most every two weeks if possible even if it's just for a restart.

So far I've found the following:
Werner - Training and terminal in Lakeland (45 min from house)
Swift - Training in TN and terminal in Ocala (30 min from house)
Roehl - Training in WI and terminal in Jax
CTL - Winter Haven, I know nothing about them
Willis Shaw - Auburndale not sure about training, I know nothing about them

According to Schnieder's website, they are no longer operating school for non cdl drivers.

So, anything else out there I'm missing? Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated. As of right now Roehl and Werner are the way I'm leaning. Werner mostly because training is so close, their site says .352cmp >1 yr exp and .372 with 1yr exp. vs Roehl at .30 & .36 respectively. But Roehl has options for 7on7off and 7/4-7/3 along with getting pretty regular from what I can find out.

Again, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks for the info, been reading up on Werner and can't find much good about them. .26cpm, if true, is the lowest out of anyone I've found so far. I was really hoping to find they were decent being I'm so close.

I may be able to swing putting myself through CDL school at a local community college. I think they start another class after the 1st of the year.

I would prefer something local, but I have yet to find anything decent that didn't require 1yr min experience around here. I have a 7yr old and would prefer to be home, but at this point I just need to pay the bills.

 

I think you're right about Roehl, at least out of everything I've found so far. I found Stevens Transport, they will also train but haven't read too much good on them.

As far as Brooksville, you probably drove past it every time you went north! It's right off I-75 at State Road 50, kind of between Ocala and Tampa.
