    Now that it's pretty much a month in a half to august and also turning 21 i'm still interested in trucking. Only downside is i'm going to have to rely on a company to pay for my cdl. I was going to go through Michigan works but don't qualify. So what would be the best company to go with that pays for the training? I live in Michigan, Saginaw,Midland,Bay-city area if that helps. Any answers would be great!

    21 years old narrows it down a little, but still plenty to choose from.
    Contract Freighters - www.cfidrive.com
    Roehl Transport
    Carter Express
    Jim Palmer Trucking
    Veriha Trucking - runs eastern half of USA
    Online Transit - runs eastern half of USA
    There's a few more. Check these and see what you think.

    Schedule a start date as soon as available after your 21st birthday and get rolling.
    You will need "original birth certificate" and "original social security card" not laminated.

    As he's 21, Prime is a no-go.

    Chinatown certainly helped me out with recommendations not that long ago - listen to him and you should be fine.

    Dont think Celadon is a stable company right now
    They, last I heard are struggling and might go under.
    Millis is a good choice, and have training near Cincinnati
