    Why is it Roehl won't take someone from North Carolina into their school? Do they not have enough runs in the southeast area? What's the deal?

    Don't know if this is the reason or not, but many companies won't hire if you live East of I-95.

    Have you looked at other company sponsored schools; there's some pretty good ones.

    I have but this one seems to have some of the best home time from what I could see? Knight transport is one I'm looking at as well.

    Knights training is good if you get a decent trainer to run with.

    Goodwill Industries in North Carolina pays for CDL school; free to you. The information is somewhere in their website.

    More to look at:

    Southern Refrigerated Transport : they furnish a bus ticket, free hotel room and 3 meals a day.

    Swift - has terminals in North Carolina.

    Millis Transfer - runs Eastern half of USA.

    Midwest-Coast Transport

    Thanks! I will check out goodwill. With swift, I'm worried about not getting enough home time. For example, don't want to be out 28 days with only 2 home.

    Check Howard Transportation; they hire new CDL grads and have a terminal in Kenly, NC. Maybe swing by the house often with them since they haul their own freight from Howard Industries.

    Other good hometime companies if you live in NC:

    Jordan Carriers - Weekends home
    Cargo Transporters
    CT Transportation - weekends home
    Builders Transportation Co.- Weekends home
    TMC

    May be more with good home time, depending on your location.
