I'm sure it varies by state, but if you choose to attend a school on your own dime, what's the cost ?

Edit- class B.

In this area (south of Louisville Ky) one training school charges approx. $4500.

If possible check with your local community college or your local unemployment office to find out if there are any training schools near you. You may be able to find some financial assistance for attendance.

I paid around $4500 for mine in 2007 and that was the 2nd cheapest of the 3 schools near me. I chose to pay a little more because it was going to save me on travel time.

Whatever you do,  DO NOT LET THE COMPANY PAY FOR YOUR TRAINING!! Not unless you like the idea of indentured servitude. A lot of the big name companies really treat their trainees badly, because they can. Swift, Western Express, and several others will give you enough miles to keep from starving, then sue you for the balance of your "training" when you quit in disgust. If flatbed work appeals to you, Maverick and TMC have training programs that aren't terrible. You'll at least know your ass from a hole in the ground, so to speak, after going through their school.

$2-3k, but get your class a. A class b is pretty much worthless unless you specifically want to drive a school bus or cement truck and don't care about driving anything else ever.
