I am looking for a good trucking Co. that pays for trucking school in MI. I have heard bad things about a few and would like input from people in the bussiness.

Are you looking for local or over the road? If over the road then they wouldn't necessarily have to be based in Michigan. I know a lot of OTR drivers have gotten their start with Schneider and JB Hunt.

I have heard many bad things about both of those companies! I have heard they just crank out student drivers as fast as they can. They do not care if you will be a good driver as long as you can pass the test. I also heard that as a new driver locked in to the company for a year or two to repay school, that you get all the crappy runs and no home time. Are you a recuiter for them?
