alternatives
sgtccso,
Congrats on 20 years in law enforcement (if I read your nic, right).
One thing you might try is a WIA grant. I don't know if it will work in your case, specifically, but it seems to me (not an expert) that it should. You have a few hoops to jump through, but it should pay for the tuition at the school. In fact, they have a list of schools that meet certain stadards - this can keep you from ending up in a fly-by-night rip-off scheme.
Taking that route, you are not beholden to ANY trucking company when you graduate from school.
The approval process (from start to finish) for me was less than 2 weeks, and, as I indicated, it's a *grant*. Paid for by your (and my) tax dollars. After school, you can pick from dozens of large companies that will hire school grads (Werner, US Express, Mays... just to name a couple-three).
The idea, here, is to keep your options open for as long as possible.
Just a thought, and worth whatever you care to make of it.
