Company Paid vs. Private School CDL Training - What's your choice?

Thanks so much everyone for the incredible advice. I'm a major researcher and still in the throes of making my decision. The Schneider recruiter said they would hire me right out of school whether I pay for it or they do! I suppose no matter what the first year is boot camp and putting in the miles early makes a big difference to your future career?

Thanks again all, SVH thank-you.gifTruck Driving Schools

Company Paid vs. Private School CDL Training - What's your choice?

I'm 54 and want to be a Driver. I've reached out to a bunch of recruiters and got lots of advice on Facebook from folks. My concern about going to "Free" CDL training paid for by a company is getting "locked into" a contract. What do you think about this?

1. Pay for my own schooling OR get Grant/Loan for it. 2. Go to work for a Company that offers more Regional than OTR driving.

Thoughts and thanks!?
