    @Goldenfan I have, but they haven't responded to an email or a message I sent them on their website over a week ago. I'll call them next week if I don't get a response. Millis has a 12 week training program though. I feel like I will learn a lot better in a one-on-one, real-world environment than in a 12 week training class.

    I also looked at Knight, which seems like a good place to start.

    Many times Emails and Phone calls don't work.
    Do the application from each website.

    Applied and was accepted to Prime. Scheduled to go next week, but having second thoughts. Caught my recruiter in a couple of fibs, and inquired about them. I was told I could cancel if I wished. Not a good start. May be going with Knight.
     
    TripeHTrucking Thanks this.

    I've looked at Millis. 12 week CDL training.
    KLLM and FFE won't accept NC.
    WIlson requires team driving for 3 months after CDL.

    Prime gives you the CDL in 2-4 weeks, plus another 6 weeks of team driving/training.

    Knight looks pretty good too. I'm a veteran, so I might be able to get the CDL training for free.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    I'm in Las Vegas. May be going to with Knight. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'd prefer to go to a company with training. Thank you.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    That's good to know. I completed the application for Knight, but they still didn't get back to me. I've heard it can take 10 days to hear back.

    I looked at Millis. Unfortunately, they do not hire out of my home state, Nevada.
