SoCal, Looking at getting into CDL driving

I've been pouring back over the forums trying to get a better sense of schools, if I do the 160 and want to get further certifications do I just go back to a school later? Any special certs for the intermodal and or tankers or is the 160 enough for those?

 

So I just talked with Schneider and because I'm former military they say all my school is payed plus $2k BAH in Miami for the school and then I'm guaranteed a job here locally, plus an additional 300 a week on the paycheck because of being in the military after I'm hired for 1year. Sounds too good to be true but maybe not, anyone here gone through this?

 

Yes, I was thinking exactly this. How does one go about getting it in writing though? Do they email something you sign?

 

So just finished my call with Schneider and they informed me I could go to any school I want, they are sending me a pre-hire letter and once I finish they say I'm hired. Either way its win win because if they are full of #### I'll still have my CDL. Thanks everyone for the great advice, now to find a school! Any recommendations that accept GI Bill?
