    Thank you China. I’m amazed by how much you really go to hell people on here. I really hope my doctor gets me on these blood pressure meds in January and I can find a place my health insurance will cover a sleep study. Aside from that I will be home free! This Tampa location sounds great. I’m considering mid Florida tech since it’s only 20 minutes from where I live then just try to find a company that can offer me tuition reimbursement. I’m really worried about doing a company sponsored program. Quoting my job for t then end up failing the program and being homeless.

    Florida Tech is an excellent choice. We can come up with some companies that do tuition reimbursement.
    www.rpmhst.com may be able to help with the sleep apnea and also help with your insurance company covering it.

    @wfutch79 - does J&R Schugel do tuition reimbursement? I can't get their website to open.

    Here's some with tuition reimbursement:
    Freymiller - www.drive4freymiller.com
    Contract Freighters - www.cfidrive.com
    Schneider - tanker division is big money; take home over a thousand a week. They have drivers in the dry van & reefer divisions barely making over $30K, and that's what they post on here.
