I am currently trying to decided where to go for CDL training in Tennessee. My permit test is scheduled for next week. I am going to a company that pays for everything because that is my best option.
I am looking at Old Dominion, Schneider, Swift and Roehl. Old Dominion has training I can commute too and the others do not.
Any advice would be appreciated

Old Dominion is a good company,
and you won't be stuck in a crap motel with some homeless dude trying to get a CDL. lolDdh77777, austinmike, Concorde and 3 others Thank this. -
Ya I’d go Old Dominion in a second. That’s a good company. If they were closer to me I’d be working for them.

thank you for replying! I am leaning toward them, my mom drove for them for a while. I do not think any other company I have looked at can beat them in pay and benefits.EastCoastResident, firemedic2816, tscottme and 2 others Thank this.

lol this was my thought, as a woman I really do not want to be in an awkward lodging situation!
My mom drove for them for a while and she is encouraging me to go there!EastCoastResident, Numb and OldeSkool Thank this. -
I'm also from Tennessee; Robertson County.
If you can get on with Old Dominion, that's the way to go. Can stay there until you retire.
