    Ok I got some pre hires now just need to pay for training. Im doing what I have to do now to get a grant but seems like that's going to take a while. I heard roadmaster does something like if you have a prehire they have you sign contracts to pay them back once you start getting your tuition repayments back or something, not sure if that's true but I hope it is. Can anybody clarify?

    There are companies that have their own training. Then there are like you said 3rd party training and a company will reimburse you.

    Another option is a community college where you can get a no qualifying gov't student loan which you don't have to start paying back until 6 months after graduation. Then you aren't committed to anyone but Uncle Sam. The companies that reimburse training will pay that too. These loans are easy to get. You fill out the FAFSA application and the financial aid dept will do all the work. If there are grants are available they will help with that too.

    I'm gunna go to hell for saying this, but there are ###### companies that will pay your way through school. All they'll ask for in exchange is a work commitment bound by contract. Here's the kicker; Once you bail on the contract you can usually find a lawyer or law firm to give your contract the thrice over. Most of the time they can find something illegal within those pages, enough to bring the validity of those contracts in to question, and more than enough to bring the contracts before a judge. In nearly every documented case, these major trucking companies have chosen to settle out of court due to the overwhelming expense of a trial. Once that happens, you'll have full access to all of your transcripts, your documentation and your diploma. Best of all, nearly every reputable law firm will take your case pro bono, although I can't tell you why exactly. So basically you'll pay nothing for your CDL, your transcripts or your diploma, and all of your back interest penalties will be erased. It worked for me, and it worked for thousands of others too. #### these ###### companies right back in the ### the same way they're trying to #### you...and get yourself a free education in the process...
