    Western Dairy Transport has schools in Texas and Missouri.
    You would go to Missouri unless there's one in Phoenix.
    Call and ask if there's one in Phoenix. I found this ad, but it's not on the website:

    There is no 1 year obligation with Swift if you already have your CDL when they hire you.

    That is only for drivers that go through their training.
    The first year is to pay them back for training, and if you stay for a full second year you get paid back in full at the same rate.
    If you leave before they get paid back you will be responsible for the balance remaining.
     
    Kotter82 Thanks this.
