Looking for a good company, but there's a catch:

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]People like you need to lay off the liquor whenever you get online. Who in the hell implied I was wanting to borrow tax dollars to go to a trucking school? Did you fathom this idea in your own head, jump to your own conclusions, and then form a bunch of condescending assumptions about my personal life? When someone like me is asking a simple question on a forum intended for help, leave the immaturity and BS remarks at the door.[/FONT]

 

Ok guys, for starters, I never asked about any grants or tax-based programs. I was asking about COMPANY-SPONSORED training. By this, I am referring to getting trained by the company itself or a sub-contracted program based on a direct loan provided by the company itself. For example, Roehl, Prime, Stevens Transport, Millis Transfer, Swift, etc...there are tons more but I only know a few, hence the reason I was asking if anyone could provide me with more.

As for the Pet Policy situation, I understand that a "beggar" cant be a "chooser", especially in this economy. But am I really begging if it's a policy that's already offered by several trucking companies? It sounds like an option, and I'm simply trying to pursue every option I have available so that I can further accomodate my lifestyle for the trucking career. That's nice that some of you have a wife or kids to take care of your pets while you're on the road for several weeks, but some of us are single and less fortunate. I adopted my dog from an abusive owner 3 years ago, and simply because I'm thinking of choosing the trucking career doesn't mean I should completely abandon him, especially when there are trucking companies that understand my EXACT situation and offer a solution.

I'm a responsible man that's trying to look into a new career in regards to my life, and the options available to me. I am taking further steps by going online and asking REAL drivers questions that most other knuckle-heads figure out when it's far too late and they've already signed the papers.

Now, on to my actual question: I told you guys that I knew Prime offered company-training, and also a pet policy, but I mentioned I was a bit demotivated by the extensivly long training program. I also found out yesterday that FFE also offers training, and they have a pet policy as well.

If you guy know any other companies I should check out, I'd really appreciate the help!

 

Con-way offers both? Funny you just mentioned them, because I just go back from shopping and I passed a Con-Way truck on I-59. I'll google them and see what I can find out
