What Companies Pay You While You Get Your CDL?
Topic 27685 | Page 1
Prime offers a pay advance until you get your CDL and head out with your trainer.
CFI pays for your transportation, hotel and feeds you during training. Once you get you CDL you start earning mileage pay once you are out with your trainer.
I think Millie pays during all parts of training.
You can check Paid CDL Training Programs for some reviews of companies.
Good luck.

WILSON-LOGISTICS offers a paid training as well. I just can't find the amount they pay. I am thinking I was told $600/wk, but I am not 100% sure on that number.
Sysco will depending on the location. US foods probably will too.

Hello All, I've decided to finally get my cdl's after years of putting it off, However i cannot afford to live without a pay check. Roehl seems to pay you from day one.(500 a week while in school). They offered me the Dry Van at .36 per mile starting out. But before i choose to go with them for sure, is there any other companies that pay you from day one like Roehl does? Thanks
