    Hello, I am a new to the trucking industry and am trying to obtain funds to get into a school. If I cannot I will have to go through a company training school so far Stevens looks like my best bet. Does anyone have any advise or comments about there school?

    Put your location on your profile.
    Lots of good choices out there. In fact one person posted Friday they called Earl L. Henderson Trucking and was immediately sent a bus ticket to school starting Monday. That school provides lodging and 3 meals a day.

    Yes, Stevens has good training, but plenty of other choices.
    All trucking company schools will require you to have an "original birth certificate" and "original social security card - not laminated."

    Here's some more that provide bus ticket, lodging, 3 meals a day:

    Celadon
    KLLM
    Earl L. Henderson Trucking
    Maverick Transportation
    Southern Refrigerated Transport

    If money is tight, take some instant stuff along for between meals and at night; Ramen Noodles, coffee, etc.
