    Eagle KMC Transportation in Phoenix is affiliated with a cdl school there. Maybe they have some type of deal to help you or pay for tuition.

    True, true... but check them all out, and explain your situation wholly and candidly, lest you cost yourself 'more' time, 'til you can turn and earn! Best of luck!!

    I have heard Schneider ads on satellite radio that say they have a refresher course for returning drivers. Not sure what the requirements for the program are.

    His biggest issue is getting a new CDL retest done. Will need a truck-trailer for that. That's where a CDL school can come in handy. Sometimes and places you can find one "for testing rental", but they're not everywhere.

    I recently retook CDL School and went with a really good company LTI. I had been out of driving for 10 years. If you are working do whatever it takes to get to a school. Look for funding if you aren't working check unemployment office for funding. Talk with as many schools as possible.
