    I have applied to Millis Transfer and am currently waiting to see if they accept me. I already have my cdl but I have no experience. I was just wondering if they do refresher courses, or if I have to go all the way through school again?

    You have to go all the way thru the school again, except for having to go get your CDL's

    Well that sucks. I was hoping I wasn't gonna have pay nearly ten grand for training. Oh well, guess I'll look somewhere else. Thanks Solo!

    I got in Dec 2012. I had some family problems come up after I started school and rather than quitting halfway through, I went ahead a finished. I just couldn't turn loose of everything to go out on the road. I think CR England offers a 10 day refresher, but I don't think I've read one good thing about them. I guess I could make it work out for a while, just long enough to get some experience behind me.

    Millis isn't 10K for training that I know of unless they drastically raised the cost. There are other companies out there but I'd stay away from CRE, Western express or CRST. Check out Roehl, school is around $3000 which is about what Millis is.

    I have already been through school once at a cost of $5000 so I really don't want to have to turn around and pay another 3 or 4 grand and go through it all over again. The only reason I'm considering CRE is because they offer a free 10 day refresher course.

    The good deal about Millis is you will make over $50K. Millis is one of the better deals out there.

    Schneider Bulk is another good deal. They have refresher and a good job afterwards pulling tankers.

    I'll have to look at Schneider Bulk then. I do have my Tanker and Double and Triple Endorsements, So that might be the way to go.
