Personally, I think it's a great idea. But then, I'm a newbie and I think ANYTHING that improves my chances for getting a good job is a great idea.
From the O/O point of view.. to be honest, I rather doubt they have a lot of trouble filling seats. Just a guess on my part, but that's the way I'd lean. Check with local CDL schools, though - and check the paper

1. My agent simply said no. Suggested I search for another provider. 2. IIRC it was going to be almost twice what I pay for myself or almost $20,000 a year. This was several years ago so the numbers are a bit fuzzy. Once I make payments on the equipment and insurance and make payroll there would just not be enough money in it for the risk associated.
