Starting as a newbie in North East Indiana! (Advice is VERY welcome)

Roehl Transport pays you $500.00 weekly to attend their cdl school in Gary,IN
Schneider will pay for cdl school and also has their own school in Gary,IN and also pays for private cdl school.
For the best money over a career, I'd get started with tankers and Schneider is a good place for tanker training.
Talk to a Schneider recruiter and tell him you want tankers with company paid training.
You can also attend a private school on your own, then some companies will reimburse the tuition back to you in monthly installments. Schneider reimburses up to $7000.00
@WelshGuy - companies I've listed do hair follicle drug test. If you want urine test only; have to find other companies.
