    As the title states Which of the companies should I go to? All the companies offer Paid cdl training. I'm thinking about getting my cdl through one of these companies. Any info about these companies would be appreciated.

    I'm set up to attend KLLM cdl program in Lancaster, Tx. It's 3-4 weeks at the school then 6 weeks with a trainer. Once solo start at .34cpm. Not much, but better then what USA and XPO was offering me. Don't know about the other two.

    I'd go with Roehl National Fleet.
    KLLM has too many meat accounts and long waits at meat packing plants.
    Millis only runs eastern half of the USA.

    KLLM bought FFE, So it's Lancaster Texas most likely.

    I was former FFE back for a few years until summer 2001. No issues, in fact the path I was priveledge to have with them was awesome from doolie trainee all the way to team trainer then Team lead.

    Ive wondered one thing. There is a big black bear that rounds up orientation trainees and ships em to be butchered on road test in the most courteous manner possible. Sending home those who are not worthy. I wonder if that SOB is still working there in Lancaster. I liked him for his ability to weed out the runts who should not be in the industry.

    Celadon has a school in Texas and pays for lodging and meals. I think the school is in Laredo.
    Try FFE-(Frozen Food Express)

    Celadon has a school in Alabama; I think Anniston. They pay for lodging and meals. Can go flatbed or refrigerated division. @Bama Roadrunner
