Very few companies have their own schools: Prime, Swift, Central Refreigarated, PAM, Watkins and Shepard, and Schneider are the only ones I can think of. A lot of companies offer tution reimubursement if you pay for your own schooling. Go to your local Job and Family Services and see if you can get a grant. If not then I would recommend Watkins and Shepards schooling which is in Montana and they pay for you to get there and Watkins and Shepards has a terminal in Youngstown which would be right down I-80 from Toledo.

Roehl has their own school. They are located in Marshfield, WI. It's hard to find anything negative about them.

The big drawback to Prime's training is that you're on a trainer's truck for close to five months. If I wanted to be on a truck with someone for that long I'd be a team driver.

check your profile and make sure you got it right on there.
I have no problem with them.
I have been with them for over a yr.
Dunno what company drivers get, this is a lease truck.
I go home when I want to.
I pull a flatbed so I am not sure what if you want flatbed info or what, tell me..

You can't send a PM until you have made at least 50 posts. This was started to put an end to people sending spam thru to PM system.
