    Hi all - 53 year old male here in Las Vegas, looking at career change into trucking. Any suggestions on a good company to pay for my CDL that is hiring entry-level drivers from Las Vegas? I appreciate any input.

    Thanks!
    Mike

    Southwest will finance the school and your first payment isn't due until 45 days after graduation.
    Some companies will reimburse the tuition back to you in monthly installments, then you use that money to repay the school.
    Here's two companies that hire Las Vegas new cdl school graduates and will reimburse the tuition back to you.
    SRT - www.southernref.com - reimburse up to $6000.00 back to you.
    Freymiller - www.drive4freymiller.com - reimburse up to $4000.00 tuition back to you.

    Yeah, love this area!
    I "immigrated" here from Tennessee.

    I think Southwest Truck Driver Training is the better option.

    Check these though for company schools that provide transportation, meals, lodging. Contact these companies and ask some questions if they interest you.

    Saw an ad a few months ago for Veriha Trucking for drivers for the entertainment industry in Las Vegas.
    Running 48 states. Some drivers like that type stuff, but I'd hate it. Entertainers don't impress me at all.
