In talking about the location choices for these company sponsored schools, you mentioned: "I could go to Texas for the schooling, I could go to Little Rock, there’s one here in Georgia, and still another in NY, etc, etc." What company sponsored training is there in NY? thanks again, Cal Ranting Warrior,

Best of luck to ya out there! It is highly unlikely that companies will negotiate your pay. I've heard stories from a few experienced drivers about getting paid a little more by negotiating, but I'm pretty sure they were lying :-) I wouldn't expect anyone to negotiate. though. It's rare. Hey Bill.

Let us know how everything went. I'm retired Army CWO- one year out, getting bored and ready to hit the road again. The VA will pay for the CDL school so I'm thinking of going to Sage in SC. I sure beats a CDL mills that I've read about. Any chance the companies will negotiate CPMs if I bring my own medical and dental, or is that out of my pocket anyway?
