I believe Covenant trains people together. It seems someone mentioned that once. You will probably want to look at a company that can get you home once in a while. Roehl, Millis, Swift and Schneider all have training programs. If you check the company listings on this forum, you may get some leads on companies you can contact. It would be better to get your own training, but there are several carriers who will train you with a work commitment. CRST did have a 6 months commitment and they do teams in their van division. If you want to pay for your own training, see if you can find a community college or vocational training school near you. The cost will likely be much less, but could be longer than some of the private schools. Before committing, you may want to check with some carriers to see if they will accept their training program. Some are better than others. There are several recruiters on this forum you may be able to better answer your questions. Your friend may even want to check with J.B. Hunt, since he used to work for them. Sheepdancer is a recruiter with them. You could address questions about them to him.
