    Trainco is the cdl school. You won't be with a trainer until you graduate and choose a company to work for.
    Your driving with Trainco is just part of the curriculum and will probably just be local with a little highway and interstate thrown in.

    Right, I'd be signing up with Schneider. After the 4 week program at Trainco, I go to Phoenix for 3 week orientation with Schneider. Is this when I would possibly ride with a trainer?

    Yes, that's when you ride with a trainer.

    Hay man, I'm an almost total noob ( to quote someone else here).
    Just wondering where i guy like me whose got a clean record ( in all respects ) and used to have his own (small time) big box truck moving co. and used to be a porter at a bus company ( i.e. parked and drove large vehicles to and fro ) So semi familiar with big trucks but never drove a tractor trailer set up.
    But a guy really down on his luck and lost almost everything and needs to start over somewhere and again I'm really hurting for money.
    Where should a guy like me who lives in California ( and could really care less if i leave this place) where could / should I go as far as a fair place to work that will pay for you trainging one way or another and not totally screw you in the process.
    Does that Jim Palmer place train folks like me.
    and any other advice.

    Knew a guy around running box trucks looking for help. Says he's making a fortune but can't find decent drivers.
