    Been searching around for a couple weeks or so for some of the better companies in America to work with but am overwhelmed by the number of seemingly great companies. Do any of y'all have any experience with paid schooling and training? Where was the school and what company did you go with? How much was the pay and how long were the courses and training? Did you get paid at all during schooling and training or after completion? What about contract, how long did you have to stay with said company for them to pay? Located in central kentucky but will definitely go cross country for the right career. Thanks in advance!

    I'd prefer flatbed hauling coils but if paid class for getting permit then license and otr training, I'd do anything really.

    Does your state have CDL classes at community colleges and vo tech schools ?

    my state does but they do NOT advertise it.
    It’s a $1,600 ten week class and the school is a third party tester.
    You have to go to the DMV for the paperwork but the road test is passing the class.
    Most companies will have you sign a $9000 personal loan for their two week class.
    And if you quit working for them in less than 12-18 months you have to pet them the money.
    That’s how they like having new drivers that they can treat like slaves and pay nearly nothing
