This company operates out of Boise Idaho, is also running a school under the same company called Idaho Provisioners. The school has NO accreditation and is being used as a business to generate income rather than train qualified drivers. Unfortunately, I went through this school and was told "All we are worried about right now is getting your CDL"...... Was pushed into taking the test within 4 days of starting the school. Less than 3 hours classroom, and less than 12 hours behind the wheel with no prior experience. They will say anything to get you to sign up for the school.
I was with an over the road trainer for a total of 9 days before being sent solo on my first run to Allentown PA. They have a habit of not paying reimbursements and lacking driver support. When I was with the trainer it was more of a team operation rather than a training run. These people are dishonest and are a horrible company to work with. I would have been better off to train with Swift.

I am currently training with Cargo Express and honestly, if they did this to me I would be happy. We need the income in our household at the moment and getting on the road faster would pay the bills faster.

As for your experience though, I have dealt with Cargo a long time, between my training now and my Father and Brother working for them previously and I doubt they would have done this if the trainer had not believed you were ready for it.

My friend, the path you are about to embark upon WILL NOT pay your bills. Quite the contrary. You have many dues to pay and getting away from a training company is the main path to actually paying your bills in this job. At best, you will get experience that you can apply to another (more worthwhile) job further down the line.
I wish you well and hope that your present path doesn't ruin you before better times prevail.

Hmm, so you think that $0.28 cpm (in writing and signed) combined with only $86 per week for 26 weeks (weekly pay checks) for paying off the school won't pay the bills?

I've already done the figures combined w/ my deductions and have a good idea what I will make after doing the research and talking to people there to find out what kind of miles I will run and figured low at 2400 miles per week.

Also, I know how to live on the road. My father drove for 35+ years till Insilun and Alzhiemer's took it away from him. My brother has done OTR for over 10 years now and is now a local driver.

Overall the biggest mistakes I know are made by both new and old drivers are how they spend there money on the road.

Even .25 cpm would be fine with me, but I'm happier with the .28 I will be getting.

Cargo Express, hmm well i do know that they usually need drivers., about 50 at any given time according to the ads they run saying so, then if your truck needs fixed they move you into another truck, i have a friend that worked for them that was supposed to be on a dedicated run from boise to denver co and back, that lasted 2 trips then they had him going all 48, he didnt stay due to that.
