Honestly, I don't think it really matters. Your really not going going to make much your first year out anyways. Set yourself a goal and reach it. As long as you are where you want to be, doesn't matter how you got their.
I let a company pay for my schooling, did my year, got my expereince and I love the job I have now.
oh and by the they way SNI,MILLIS,and ROEHL, will not accept to me due to the fact they say CDL is not transferable to the state of MASS.
Odd. I start with Millis on June 19th. You go to training with a CDL permit from your state and when out with the trainer you go though your homestate and take your CDL skills test in the trainers truck...no transfering a CDL.
Okay, it's not quite that bad, you do get paid. But no matter how they treat you, you are obligated to work for them for "X" amount of time. If you pay for your own school, you are a "FREE AGENT". You can quit without obligation. It means they don't have a "strangle-hold" on you.

If you can either afford the tuition or finance it yourself in some way then you are better off finding and attending a good school and then going to work for a company. That way you owe nothing to that company and if it does not work out you are free to go elsewhere.
