Nick Strimbu Inc. in Brookfield will hire you when you graduate and has tuition reimbursement. They're Teamsters also.
Roadmaster will really push hard for you to go with Werner, since Werner owns the school.
I can give you names of probably 2 dozen companies that will hire you from about any cdl school that's 160 hours.

160 Driving Academy, 923 E Broad St
Are these two still in operation? All you need is a cheap 160 hour course.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's just a few companies, that hire new cdl grads, you can consider; there's plenty more though. They all hire new cdl grads, so if you see "experience required" on the websites, ignore that.
Transport America
Freymiller - www.drive4freymiller.com
Nick Strimbu Inc. (Teamsters)
PI&I Motor Express (Teamsters)
Panther Premium Logistics (cargo vans & box trucks for new grads)
Britton Transport
Butler Transport

Zappafan Thanks this. -
Tri state has changerd their name it looks like. and theyre in Dayton, but 160 is here in Columbus.
I take it thats considered a better school than Roadmaster?
I would not be opposed to going out of state for the school, but I am limited on funds, so if I had to pay for a hotel for a month or so, that would probably be out of the question.
I know Swift will pay for you to get to their school, do any of these places provide lodging?
Again, thanx a million for your help -
Those companies I listed are for after graduation from cdl school. They all hire from private cdl schools such as 160 or Roadmaster or community college, etc. I thought you posted you don't want a trucking company school because of the obligation to work there for "X" amount of time.
You'd be better off going to 160 in Columbus if you can.
The trucking companies that offer cdl school also pay for meals & lodging during their cdl classroom training. They also provide transportation from Columbus to their school.
Here's a few:
Millis Transfer - Trenton,OH - runs eastern half of USA. 12 mos. commitment.
CRST - 10 month commitment - they have a dedicated Caterpillar account that runs from Ohio to California, from what another Ohio driver posted. Team operation.
Contract Freighters - www.cfidrive.com - coast to coast trucking. 12 mos. commitment. Hair follicle drug test.
Dutch Maid Logistics - Willard,OH - don't know the details.
Roehl Transport - actually pays you $500.00 weekly while in their cdl school. Hair follicle drug test.
Carter Express - school in Indianapolis.
Stevens Transport - several school scattered around. Stevens send their students to private schools.
FFE (Frozen Food Express) - uses private schools.
I think they're all 12 mos. obligation except CRST which is 10 mos.Zappafan Thanks this. -
So the costs for the three here in Columbus
Swift: 3900
160 driving academy: "Roughly 4000"
Roadmaster 6995
Anyone with experience care to rank these schools? Is Roadmaster just jacking the price up?
Thanks for any info! -
Zappafan Thanks this.
