The Rundown:
7 week training for CDL.
First three at Company headquarters- classroom, range, on road driving(the basics). You are paid 75$ per day..weekends off.
Housing provided. Not sure about meals.
4 weeks otr w trainer...100$ per day.
No tuition. One year contract. However I did not get info on what happens if you leave early.
Training in Indiana. I know they don't hire from all 50 states. Most freight is Indiana to southeast.
Just putting it out there as an option to folks looking for paid training.

OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
