    OK here it goes... I have been seriously looking into getting my Cdl's reason being I am just tired of being in a go nowhere manufacturing job. It's not something I just woke up one day and decided it's what I want to do but something I've have been considering for several years now.. I have looked into some of the companies that do the Cdl training and so forth and decided that I like what mid-trans has to offer could someone please give me some insight on mid-trans I don't mean from a angry ex employee.. I need company with a pet policy. If there is a better company out there that offers schooling and training could you please give me some information so I can check them out.. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

    Haven't heard of Mid-Trans and can't find their website.
    Can you pass a hair follicle test or do you want urine test only? This information helps because some companies do both and some only urine. No big deal to me either way, just trying to save some hassle for you.

    It is a CDL, you only get one.

    Are you willing/able to pay for or finance your own CDL training? If you sign a contract, a company will have you by the boy parts. I strongly suggest getting your own training.

    What city in Ohio are you in?

    I'm taking it that you can go to a company CDL school. Not paid until you get out of the school. Correct?
    I can't say I've heard good on Wil Trans?
    Prime is very good. They have a north east division. If that's what you're interested in.
    Swift is tolerable?
