    Could you elaborate more on this? Unfortunately im in the mclennan county area, about an hour and a half away from the big cities like austin and dallas. Are you saying that there are compaines like the ones you listed thay act like england or schneider in a way that theyll pay for me to go to school if i sign a contract with them?

    Getting your permit with endorsements on your own is very easy to do. I did it that way even though I didn't have to.

    If it were me id either go with Schneider or Western.

    Since you are strapped financially those two will fund your training and get you your cdl. Afterwards you drive for them a committed amount of time and you owe nothing after that.

    @Stankfoot you are in the waco area which theres LTL freight companies that will hire you as a dock worker and eventually move to be a driver. Companies that will sponsor you are old dominion, estes, saia and southeastern. Usually LTL pays a bit more and you home daily. Check it out before you go to cr england.

    Good luck

    Thanks tex. Ill definitely look into this. The more i read, the more cr england sounds like a bad choice even for my situation.

    Western Dairy Transport just told me they are now paying .38cpm for regional and .41cpm for otr for new grads. They had their own cdl school at one time but it is on hold for lack of trainers or something or other.
