    I don't know where you are Rmarkley, but if there is another school that you can go to, please do. I just finished at Roadmasters and they are EXPENSIVE! I was fortunate enough to have HAD some savings and I spent it all at Roadmasters. Whenever I make up my mind to do something- I go ahead and do it, If I had been patient I could have saved a bit of money by going to a community college. Anyway, do your research and be patient! Good luck!

    You've talked to small companies about your experience and they said you had to go back to school?

    Save your money; keep it in the bank and don't go into debt on private driving school.

    Earl Henderson Trucking has excellent training and don't need any cash up front. They provide private/one person hotel room and 3 meals a day during CDL school.
    Guaranteed minimum pay weekly for 2100 miles @.38 cpm. That's the very least you will make. Easily achievable; just do your job. Coast-to-coast reefer outfit.

    Take the following:

    original birth certificate
    original social security card
    steel toed boots (slip-on are best)
    sleeping bag & pillow
    work gloves
    flashlight
    If you don't want reefers, then look at CTL Transportation. They have a school in Wauseon, OH.

    Add tmc to the list of companies who train you to get your cdl. Just found out today that they've decided to fall in line with the usual bunch
