After u graduate they pay u some thing like 22 or 23 c a mile to pay that loan for the school...if u can go to a tech school and get it do that

C1ft worth... bad equipment.. bad instructor's.. kind of a joke.. make sure you get your time in on the yard and on the road... they do the minimum to get you your cdl..

Heard a lot of bad things about C1 which was why I crossed USA and PAM off my list. I went to the Swift Academy in San Antonio but they recently moved the school to Corsicana. Excellent school and instructors and the cost was $3900 ($2900 for veterans). The tuition loan is paid through weekly $37.50 (net) deductions. If you leave Swift you can continue making weekly payments; they do not accelerate the loan. I got everything I was promised and I'm really happy with Swift. If you want to talk to a Swift recruiter who is straight up honest send me a PM for the name and number.

Starting there on the 16th and also going to USA after that (fingers crossed) if all goes well

I will let you know how things go

GOOD LUCK!

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm still looking at other schools before i call the recruiter back tuesday to confirm i'm starting on 23rd. I'm interested to hear how your first week goes road2dreams. thanks.

Guess who just posted on craigslist for a "truck driving instructor" in Fort Worth.
They pay a whole $13 an hour, and you need three years of verifible driving... wow.
They prefer driver training or on the road trainer experience....

craigslist.org...then select Texas, DFW area, and look under transport

If possible, get all your permits first, and ask as many questions as you can drag out of the instructors.
From reading here, drivers are responsible for all the rules, whether you know them or not.
Good luck!

13 bucks an hour to teach how to drive...bs...they guys arnt gonna give a flying #### about being an instructer...

No comment!
I took a composite bonding class ( no jobs right now, Bell and Lockheed aren't hiring unless you're an engineer)
Drove right past the C1 Ft W school practice driving area every morning around 6:30.
On Mondays there were lots of peeps, by Friday... not so many.....
Looks like an old park with lots of trees, and a muddy lot.
