    I don't know of one in Nevada at all.
    CFI - www.cfidrive.com will ship you to Missouri for their school.
    Prime Inc. will ship you to Salt Lake City. Prime will give you pay advances while in school.
    Both those companies provide meals and lodging while attending their schools.
    Schneider might pay for cdl school at Southwest, but you'd have to ask the school about that.

    CRST you have to drive teams for the first 10 months; then you can go solo or leave because your contract is fulfilled. CRST has a 10 month contract.
    If I went with CRST, I'd ask for a dedicated account such as Caterpiller. This way you know you'll get plenty of miles each week.
    Their refrigerated division might have some dedicated accounts, but I've only heard about Caterpiller which is probably dry van.

    Hauling for a specific customer and mainly the same run over and over. One of those Caterpillar accounts run from East coast to California, back and forth. I'm not sure about all the routes though.

    I don't know anything about their refrigerated division. It's probably ok if they're doing the coast to coast run.
    I've only read about their Caterpillar teams and they were all positive posts.
