You are correct about the diabetes, and you can research Company-Sponsored Training by following that link. You may also enjoy our Ladies Of Trucking Forum.
We're glad to help you anyway we can so don't be shy.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
A Company-Sponsored Training Program is a school that is owned and operated by a trucking company.
The schooling often requires little or no money up front. Instead of paying up-front tuition you will sign an agreement to work for the company for a specified amount of time after graduation, usually around a year, at a slightly lower rate of pay in order to pay for the training.
If you choose to quit working for the company before your year is up, they will normally require you to pay back a prorated amount of money for the schooling. The amount you pay back will be comparable to what you would have paid if you went to an independently owned school.
Company-sponsored training can be an excellent way to get your career underway if you can't afford the tuition up front for private schooling.

New to this board, found it quiet by accident. My question are there still any company training schools out there. I was looking for a school back about four years ago and there were several then everything came to screeching halt. Also with all the changes are diabetics still allowed to drive if they are not on insulin but managed by diet, exercise, and meds? Thanks in advance all. Diana
