Driver Training Program
Brown Foodservice
Winchester, KY 40391
Brown Foodservice, Inc. CDL Driver Training Program prepares, trains, and develops potential drivers with the knowledge and skills required to pass the state skills test and obtain a class "A" CDL.

 

Having an automatic restriction ain't that big if a deal like it used to be, because so many companies are moving towards automatic trucks. That said, if I were getting my CDL today, I would go company sponsored training where you can get paid while you train. I definitely advocate for earn while you learn.

I'd go with YRC in your position. Paid while you train, no contract or obligation, Teamster pay and benefits when you finish training. Home every day and weekends off. They're starting P&D drivers out at $24/hr. You can read about @RoadSideDown 's YRC experience here.
