    I am in Utah and I am wondering what companies around here offer training and then put you on an in state route, an out and back route, or a regional route. Basically, which company offers the most home time but also trains to get the cdl? Thanks guys.

    Swift and Schneider are two companies that have lots of dedicated lanes and put new grads into those positions. They both either will send you to their own school or pay for private school.

    One example is you would be assigned to a Walmart warehouse or Target warehouse.
    In the East, Schneider has lots of dedicated accounts at paper mills, such as Georgia Pacific, in various East Coast states.
    Those companies have accounts all over the USA.
