I cannot afford to attend a local trucking school. My local college does not offer it anymore. Since I already have my CDL but no verifiable experience I am being forced to complete the entire program all over again. I just don't have the credit or the funds to get it on my own again.
which company?

From what I have found mostly all companies that have they're own training school. Hotel will be on the company you might have to pay for your license though. Like Jbs carrier's approve me and was gonna pay roadmasters to train me. But I would have to pay for hotel,feeding myself , licence fee, dot physical, drug screening , and mvr. Try to stay away from that kinda situation unless you have no other choice, or can afford all that and if getting your cdl's is worth paying a 5000 dollar loan back and paying almost another 1000 in fees. Before you do that go to a community college and pay out of pocket it will cheaper. When comes down to it if you don't have cash up front. Pick a company that has they own school.

A lot of companies also hire out of selected areas. Me personally I have call just about all companies that do company sponsored training. I chose Central out of all, look into things like how long is the training, equipment, hometime, fees to be paid, see what good things you hear about them and bad things things like that. See what fits you best Central fits me best while looking into things like I have mention. Company A might have something that company B does not but. But company B might fit better you gonna loose or win something but they all about the same . Check this website it has about every major company sponsored program and about everything about each program. But remember they do have hiring areas buddy. http://m.truckingtruth.com/free_truck_driving_schools/homepage2.html

If I had to choose a company out of your list I would probably choose Knight. I had a friend go through there and he seemed to enjoy it. Biggest thing is to keep your nose clean!

You can always try a local company, like Robertson's (the cement and gravel company). I heard they were training new drivers, but I don't know anything else about them.
