    So just turning 21 I have been looking at trucking companies and came down to two decisions. I have to rely on a company paying for my training since I don't have the money to pay for schooling myself. I applied through Schneider and got a call back but I wasn't at my phone because of a family funeral. I called back and it's been a week and I still have not heard anything. Another company i'm looking at is Wil-trans. I don't know too much on the training other than they help you receive your cdl. Does anybody know if they pay for your schooling or do they bring you out to Montana if that's where they are located? Any help will be awsome!

    Go to their website click on driver information read it then ask questions. It seriously answers your question in big bold 12 point font right on front page.

    No thanks needed welcome to adulthood

    And you don't have to rely on a company paying for you. Just go to any community college that offers a cdl program ( 7/10 will) and apply for the pell grant.

    Wil-Trans trains in Springfield,MO
    Jim Palmer Trucking trains in Missoula,Montana
    Wil-Trans owns Jim Palmer.
    Jim Palmer runs coast to coast & Wil-Trans runs eastern half of USA.

    Schneider doesn't have cdl training. You have to already have a cdl. They have a good training program once you have one though.

    They are a contract carrier for Prime, not owned by them. You get a better truck and the same freight.
