Jacob, what you're looking for is called a Company Sponsored School.

Almost all of these schools take out a small amount from your paychecks and require you to sign a contract for a specified amount of time - usually a year.

I went through the Central Refrigerated company sponsored schooling a year ago. You can read about my journey here. Daniel B.'s Diary I highly recommend you read that diary I wrote. I logged my entire journey while training and it contains amazing information that you need.

In these company sponsored schooling, they put you on a Greyhound bus and take you to one of their terminals so you can begin school with them. The bus ticket is paid for by the company.

They put you in a hotel, which is usually a pretty nice hotel. Companies aren't cheap about this.

Now, not every company will feed you everyday. For example, at Central the hotel served us breakfast (pretty terrible breakfast) and thats it. But at a few other companies you'll be provided breakfast and lunch. Every company is different about this. Im not saying that Central is worse about it than others, but you will be fed differently with each company.

Money sounds like its a bit tight for you judging from your post. But you absolutely need to bring some money with you to eat and buy things with. You won't survive strictly depending on the company to feed you, no company will do this.

Every OTR company hires out of Texas so you don't have to worry about that.

Here's a list of articles I think you should read to help you in this process.

Totally agree. You're not going to get by with empty pockets. You have several weeks of training at the company's facility before going on the road with a trainer. You won't be paid at most programs for those first few weeks and then the money you get paid while on the road with a trainer won't be much.

I always recommend having a bare minimum of $500 in your pocket before attending one of these programs but $1000 would make it far less stressful. You're going to be super busy, exhausted, and stressed out most of the time. These programs are really fast-paced and difficult. The last thing in the world you want to do is starve yourself, stress over money, or be begging your classmates every three hours for change so you can buy something to eat.

If you have to sell some stuff or borrow a little money from family or friends then do so. You'll be able to pay it back within a couple of months. But you don't want to show up with empty pockets. That's going to be a nightmare.

You can probably do everything but the food part. My company gave me $200 a week during orientation, but I think that's not the norm.
