    Con-way has a very good partial pay program in cooperation with Crowder College near Joplin, Missouri.

    Look before you leap. I would not do this unless you are willing to give the company at least two years of your time. I can not speak for ConWay, I have never heard anything bad about them so the previous post may set you in the right direction, all i am saying is get all the facts first. The big companies are the ones you should look at though, as in Swift and the like. Talk to the drivers before you commit though...
