    Going to go through Roehl once i get my money for tuition. I have enough money to get there and pay for food and logging and my license fees. But not enough to cover the tuition. Dont have anyone to co-sign with me i cant because my credit score doesn't meet there requirements.

    Someone told me that are grants or sponsors that pay for school then you pay them back weekly. Can anyone point me in a direction that may help me move forward or any advice.

    have you tried a pel-grant. thats how i went to school. all you have to do is go to your local department of unemployment and fill out the nessary forms, takes about 4-6 weeks to get your money, and they will give you up to 10k.


    good luck

    There are plenty of trucking companies that offer training through payroll deduction and no credit requirements.

    Another option is many community colleges offer commercial truck driving. Those you have alot of grant opportunities from the state and federal government. Like here in Tennessee, there's a $2000 technical skills grant and state lottery scholarships available. Just find the website of a CC near you and check out their financial aid options.

    Anyone with prior military, there are GI Bill and VA options.
