Good company to start with paid training classes?

The current job I have has been f-ing me over left and right knowing that I can't quit because I need money for survival.

At this point I'm looking for alternatives and trucking seems like a good career path. I'm wondering what would be the best company that can pay for my training?

I've heard some people say that I should be careful when choosing which one I join because a lot of them can really rip you off or not pay you very well.

I went through Roehl. If you go flatbed with them you'll go to Gary, IN for training. They put you in a hotel and pay you while you're training. Hotel has breakfast every day and the company gives you lunch mon-fri. Training there is excellent but if you go that route you have to sign a contract saying you'll drive 120k miles for them. Definitely get ahold of your state career center and see if there's any WIOA programs or something that will pay for your CDL training first.

You have to go to their hotel? I live pretty close to Gary, currently my own apartment. Do you happen to remember what the hours were like for the training and how long it was?
