    Oh,,I forgot to tell you, with our,,,shall I say, diverse group here, threads can derail faster than a locomotive.( speaking of which, great train museum in Green Bay, See how easy it derails?) Can't beat the experience here, just gets a little tossed around sometimes, is all. A site like this years ago, would have saved me a lot of hassle, when it was trial by fire method of finding jobs.

    Another guy in your area also said he doesn't want to be OTR, so he went with Schneider Intermodal Division right out of cdl school. Schneider will pay for cdl school or if you pay yourself, Schneider will reimburse the tuition back to you, up to $7000.00
    Schneider Intermodal is probably picking up loaded sea containers from a rail yard or sea port at Lake Superior or Lake Michigan. I'm speculating, but you will probably take the sea container to the customer or back to the terminal and another driver hooks up to it and delivers it to the customer. That's a decent job if you don't want to run the roads all over the country.

    When I hauled containers out of Ft. Howard Paper, Green Bay, everything went to Chicago for "domestic stack" on the rail, either east or west.

    Go to fox valley tech, take the 10 week course. It's less than $3,000. It's the best instruction you can get.

    Then chose the company that's best for you. Schneider, Riehl, Midwest Carriers, and WEL will all refund your tuition and give a sign on bonus.

    Here are the tech schools in WI that have the CDL course.
    Fox Valley (would be closest to you and highly regarded).
    Chippewa Valley
    Waukesha County
    Milwaukee Area Tech
    BlackHawk Tech
    Northcentral Tech
    IndianHead Tech
    Those are the tech schools and all are $3000 or under for a course that is 10 to 12 weeks.
    There are some private schools as well that are 3 or 4 weeks and will cost you from $4000 to $6000+.
    Please stay away from Associated Training Diesel Driving Academy in Madison that's a known CDL Mill. I think it's up to 5K now and is 3 weeks.

    If you're in Wisc I dont know why anyone would choose anyone other than Millis. The school us affordable, get good training , and the pay fresh from school can't really be beaten by anyone else. Plus the equipment is all new with every amenity needed.

    There are three companies that have their own school in WI that I know of. You can decide if that's the route you want to go.You need to find out what they charge if the job doesn't work out with them, that's important.

    Millis
    Roehl From what I've seen this can be expensive if you don't make the 120,000 miles to forgive the loan.
    Veriha out of the Green Bay area.
