I'm unemployed and can't afford to pay for school myself. Which companies are best about tuition reimbursement?

Your worry is still how to get financing a loan for school. Right now about the only companies with "their own" schools with their own name on the door are Millis and Schneider.

Check with your unemployment training office, some offer training benefits!

Don't forget Swift... its not paid while in training.. but they have a 0% loan for ur training and reimbursement... after 26 months your school is completely repaid so its free.

if you find a good school like AIT in Phoenix AZ they get you financing and then you select a company that pays back your tuition

Check with Roehl, Millis, Schneider, Swift, CRST, Covenant, US Xpress. These are some that come to mind. You will need to check with them for current requirements. I believe all of them offer training for an agreement to work for a specified time. Most require 1 year. CRST did have a program for 6 months.

+1 I did this here in CT......they paid out 4k for my tuition to NETTTS (New England Tractor Training School) while I collected unemployment. First (and probably last) time I used the system...
