    I am looking to get on with a company that offers a company paid cdl training in exchange for a commintement to work for them (like what prime offers). I would like a company that is good for me living in the LA/Orange County Area, as far as getting to go home when possible and training cloose by.....
    --or should i just go with schneider,prime? out to there locations,
    ---also is prime the best as far as making a little money while you accrue your miles?
    ---one last thing, can you leave after 6 months with Prime, pay half of your school and go local if you find a company?

    any info would help..

    Schneider isn't taking students right now.

    And regardless of who you go to. Working 6 months, instead of a year. Doesn't relieve you of 1/2 the debt. You still owe all of it. Because once you leave, you're looking at finance charges being tacked on.

    Anyway. You might check into Swift or Werner.

    Prime is a good company. If you leave after 6 months, you will owe them the remainder of your money for training. I'm with Dance there. Better and easier to find a local company with over a year OTR anyway. And, who knows, you might get out here and actually LIKE it.
