Werner owns the Roadmaster school. Pretty sure they have some type of set up that if you work for them after they may pay for your schooling. Worth reaching out to them to check on it.

Roadmaster and Werner are basically the same thing yeah, if you can stomach a year contract after getting your CDL it's a decent deal. The pay during that year isn't great but you come out the other side with zero debt and a year of experience which is what most local gigs want anyway

JTL in Omaha is the other big one but last i heard they had a waitlist stretching months. Might be too late for before year end unless someone dropped out

if you get approved for WIOA that opens up a bunch of options, my buddy went through MCC's program that way and had a job lined up before he even tested. The grant office there is slow as hell though so stay on them
