Dutch Maid Logistics in Willard, OH would be a decent company to consider. My trainer at Dutch Maid lives in the Fort Wayne area and he has been with the company for 30 years. The company just started up its own school in February or March.
Is Prime really that bad?

That's why the person said to wait a couple more months...for hair to grow back.tscottme Thanks this.
-
Thank you, checking them out now! Their website is very unfinished, even has the default text on the bottom of their careers page haha.
I see no information about schooling but ill give them a call in the morning and ask about it, really banking on the free transport/housing/food to be available with wherever i go. -
They absolutely pay for housing, one meal, and the school is free. Training is paid after the school. I think that's how it works. I don't think it's paid while going through the school.
-
Let me clarify the "one meal." That is lunch is paid for Monday through Friday. When I went through orientation, we were taken to places that served enough food for two meals for the average person.

Submit an online application to Stevens Transport. When a recruiter calls, as if you can attend the school in Denver, Colorado.
Drivers have posted it's a good school with meals provided. Lodging is described as "hotel like apartments."
One driver posted he was offered a plane ticket to Denver.
Sometimes you won't see all the details on a website.

If you think you'll need more food than is provided, the take a flexible bag with microwave foods to help out until your first paycheck. Cheap stuff at the Dollar Store, Walmart, other discount stores that sell food.SoulScream84 Thanks this. -
From your area, I'd give Roehl a good, hard look. Paid while in school and in training, I believe. Get 9-12 months in then bail for better pay and working conditions.
-
thank you for this, ill be showing up with about $600 in pocket, as long as room and school are covered during the start, im sure id manage fine, thank you.
-
I was looking at Roehl too, but sadly i can't pass their hair follicle test. I gave it up months ago and can surely pass a urinalysis but dont want to risk failing the hair test, or waiting and adding an extra 4-5 months gap of unemployment on my work history lol
-
Thanks a ton for this info, Stevens is looking like a pretty great opportunity and they've been my 2nd choice for a while.
One issue i've noticed, that even after using the tenstreet program to apply to 4 different CDL schools, none have called me and it's been over 3 days since i applied. I would imagine this is due to my recent string of unemployment/lack and willingness to find employment. Should i be calling and pestering them about my application like i would other jobs? Only curious because everyone seems to mention being swarmed with calls from recruiters after applying.
