Just fired off some applications

Have you looked at the local employment office?

Workforce Investment Act Adult Program, Employment & Training Administration (ETA) - U.S. Department of Labor

 

there you go. Giddy up !

 

Get your CDL with Stevens then bail, even if you owe them money, you will be earning enough elsewhere to easily repay them. I was talking to a new driver where I work and he was giving me the Stevens rundown. He went through the training, got his own truck and for the first month money was good...then it started dropping off. He spoke to office people who told him all the good loads were saved for lease drivers, so he signed a lease and the miles magically reappeared...for a couple months, then dropped off again. He again sought answers and was told that the good loads were given to lease operators who also train as the students need the miles.

He didn't hang around to be fooled a third time.

Call Roehl tomorrow, I've never heard of an employer who didn't like an eager applicant who was ready to work.

 

you can try CFI also they pay for room and board along with school from what i read on their site

 

OP, have you tried to get loan from Roadmaster or anything like that? Yes, %ARP is a #####, but after school you can find company who will reimburse you for loan you took. Way better then to run at 26c, or getting crap loads from Riehl (if you will quit before 120 000 miles you will have to pay either way...)
