    I don't mean any disrespect, but just because you "heard they're a good company" doesn't mean a thing.

    I heard that horse dung don't taste bad, you should eat some for supper tomorrow.


    See how ridiculous that is?

    Honestly, I don't think any of 'em are good. There are those that are worse than others, but they all are just about the same. I like the company I am with now (a small company based out of southwestern Indiana), but at the same time I wouldn't necessarily recommend them. There are better paying companies out there, and there are companies with better equipment. On the contrary, there are companies that won't get you home as often, and there are companies that you might never have a face to face conversation with your dispatcher/driver manager.

    A lot of states will pay for you. The stae is paying for me through a program called "Workforce, WV". They are paying for everything, CDL class, licensing, DOT physical and my Haz Mat.

    If you go it on your own, you wont be stuck to a particular company for a given time. I am finding that this really (on your own) is the way to go.

    Go to your local unemployment office of vocational rehab office. If you are a displaced, layed off or low income worker you most likely qualify. "Workforce WV" is what they are calling West Virginias program. Other states may have similar programs but call it something different. I lucked out because based on my current income level and the fact that I pay child support and my GF is unemployed, I just met the income level to be approved. They take all of this into consideration.

    Good luck in your efforts to get the training paid for. Never hurts to ask for a little help from the guy upstairs either.
