Brandon,
$1000 a month is a bit high for your first year, and of course don't expect much at all during training, though there are a few that will pay you something. I had no income going into training, and it was a long 3 months before I got a paycheck.
I'll tell you my brother has limited use of his right side - hand, arm and leg since infancy, though he has pretty much overcome this. He has driven school buses for over ten years, using a clutch and manual stick shift. I think he could easily hook/unhook a trailer and crank the landing gear with no problem.
I'm not sure about the other companies, but I'm in the process of signing up with Roehl (Rail), and they do advertise that they pay you 500 per week while in classes, then while our with a trainer for the approximately 15 days you make 90 per day. Plus after 6 months you can have a cat or dog with you in the truck. Just do your research.
Find several places that you might want to attend cdl SCHOOL AND CALL THE RECRUITER. They will get you an answer...

You should make at least 700 a week your first year.
