Schneider, Swift and Amazon all paid for students in my local 160 hr CDL school. A few of us paid out of pocket, others were funded by a state program called WIOA (I think that’s what it’s called anyway).

Call your local school - they would be able to set you up with sponsoring, funding or loans if that’s the route you want to take.
