Hard to find company paid CDL training and be home 3 or 4 weekends a month?

Okay, I have a little situation, and cannot seem to find an appropriate answer. Hopefully you can all help:)

I am a daddys girl(he drives a truck) and I have considered the career many times before, as far as actually going to get my CDL learners and getting enrolled in the school.

I am interested in going with a company that offers the CDL training themselves(1 yr contract to repay, i know)but here is my CATCH. I want a truck driving job where I am home 3-4 weekends a month. I know it sounds far fetched, but my father works for Star Transport out of Morton Ill and he is home 3 weekends a month, would be for 4, but he just stays in a hotel a few hours away from home for that 4th weekend. But Star only offers CDL training to IL residents only.

So I know I can find a company who would, but I have no idea where to look.

My second CATCH would be that I have a child that lives here in the WV/MD area and I would have to be here in this area every other weekend. But I am planning on moving to NC next month, so would need to be in NC the other 1 or 2 weekends so I can spend time with my husband and our child.

If I cant find a company that would atleast TRY and accomodate me, then I wouldnt drive, simple as that. my family is way more important to me.

I know these may seem unreasonable, but I thought I would try. My father has driven a truck for MANY years, and said it isnt impossible, I only have to search for it.

Any ideas from anyone??
Thanks!

PLEASE CONTACT THE (( WERNER INTERPRISES)) THEY PAY DRIVING SCHOOL LOANS,

Werner should be your last resort ! there are other ways to do this, feel free to call me at 870-216-0096 or 877-USA-0099, or you can get information from our website and messageboard ! Hope this helps.. usacdljobs.com

Please contact me about job opportunities. I only have a class B cdl. Willing to train for A.

You should give schneider a call. They have their own paid cdl training. They even provide transportation to their school. You spend two weeks at school, then a week at your home terminal, then two weeks with a trainer. For the fist two weeks lodging, breakfast and lunch are provided. For your third week lodging is provided and you get some pay. Then you're with a trainer. Everything is taken care of if you stay with the company for one year. As for weekends off, schneider allows you to move right into dedicated positions that allow for better hometime. I don't know how far you are from bedford, pa but they have a wal-mart gocery d.c. that has a 6 days out 2 days of schedule. But if you can't find weekends off you could always stick it out for a year and get a job closer to home. Their over the road drivers are usually out for two weeks. I have since moved on from schneider, but I received some of the best training. Both the guys who taught me had over 30 years driving experience plus they have a skid pad to teach you what to do when the truck goes out of control. Schneider's number is 800-44-pride. If you have any questions send me an email at dhays63@gmail.com.

I am thinking of going to CR England School in November any thoughts of that.

i am like the daddy i want to learn more

i am just like the guy in the story

i need to find a cdl training school in Illinois that a company will pay for the tution the school needs to be in illinois

Any of the national truck companies will pay for your tuition. Call them up and let them know first so they can work with you.

Try SAGE truck schools they are excellent and they are everywhere.

Good Luck, Trucking is very hard but can be rewarding.

I really hope you didn't go with Werner, they don't have the best rep with drivers, I'd try Con-Way or CFI, or maybe look into a dedicated or intermodal route with Schneider National. These all would get you home, and they're decent companies.

I saw a website about training...

i need to find somebody withh a truck that would be willing to rent so ican get my cdl.I already have the permit and cant afford those expensive truck driving schools. I have a place that will do it for $175 but i need the truck.

Try truck companies that you want to work for and ask them if they would allow you to use there trucks. Try Community Colleges that have truck driving programs they might help you.

I hate to rain on your parade.But you won't find a job and be home every weekend while youre in training.You better plan on being out 4 weeks before you can go home.Then after your hometime you have to go back out with a trainer and finish up your training.Good luck in whatever you decide Patty

Its very understandable that your family is more important then driving truck.Why dont you see about finding a company that has regional or dedicated runs that you can get trained.That way youll be home either everyweekend or every other weekend.Do not choose over the road because youll get home after 3 or 4 weeks Good Luck Patty

next time your dad stops at truck stop get him to pick u up a trucker mag. go through it phoning companies {think schnieder ,hunt ,england }will all train but do not know about home time
