    Studying for the CDL and will pass before I go to driving school, but I need advice on best driving school and companies for a driver who wants to be based in DFW.

    I can pay my own tuition, so looking for best school (good instructions, reputation, links to industry, etc....), not the cheapest deal.

    As for companies, I get the drill for rookies. just want a company that has a DFW hub, treats drivers fairly and can give me the miles.

    Why does the company have to be based in Dallas/Ft. Worth? If you're concerned about hometime, don't be because each company has their own policy on that and where the headquarters is doesn't affect that.

    Here's a few companies that hire new cdl grads in DFW. Some websites may indicate "experience required" but that's incorrect; all these hire new cdl grads and run coast to coast.
    National Carriers
    Britton Transport
    Freymiller
    Navajo Express
    Dynamic Transit
    Abilene Motor Express

    Thanks for the info.... Just looking to make sure I'll be within an hour from home when I go off the clock, so a DFW hub makes that easier for me.

    I would recommend Swift. The company I started with, got my one year and left. If I had to do it all over again, it would be Swift or Crete. Swift was fast and easy to get started with.
