Now if you don't graudate, or pass the back ground check throughtly ... You owe the school in full. When they offered this program the only thing it cost you was your housing for a month and the food you eat ............. I doubt seriously there is Any company out there that will pay for school, housing, and food while in school. Good luck.

I went throught CFI/Conway Truckload's program. The current out of pocket cost for Conway truckload's program is aprox $220 and they pay off the rest of the school if you pull one load. If he can come up with the money I will reccoment CWTL as I believe it is an excellent program, they even pay you by the mile while with your trainer. I believe it was 25 cpm when I went through.I don't believe their program ever was zero cost to go to school.

crb .. when I went back for a refresher/ for CFI/Conway ... I didn't pay Anything for school .. only housing and food. I already had my CDL so I didn't have to consider that in the cost. Things do change over time thou. ..
