    Both offer cdl training. what are the pros and cons of each? How does their training compare?

    I am prepared to stay at least a year at either company. Both have accepted me. I need to make a choice soon. Ha

    Any help would be great

    I believe with Swift you pay back tuition over the first year. Then they start paying you back after the first year. In 26 months it's free. If you go to a Swift school, you don't have to go with Swift, you just need to pay for the cost.

    Stevens is where I committed to. Leaving for school in Denver last week of march. But swift and knight have contacted me. Didn't like knight and the recruiter kept dancing around questions. Thought I would see what people thought between swift and Stevens

    Between these two is both are not the best but get your CDL from Swift and bail. A few successful members have done that.
