Free Tuition?

Call 'em and ask.

 

Don't think any carrier offers free tuition. Several have programs in place to reimburse Or cover the cost over time though.

Millis Transfer is one with a good reputation.

 

Nothing is free in life except some good advice.

If any thing is free, then there has to be a cache too it and may cost you dearly in the long run.

Read the extremely small print and in between the lines and it will save you from a very costly mistake.

If you get a bad feeling about something,
Trust your feelings and instincts.

Remember this one thing.
Only humans are stupid enough to run back in to burning buildings for useless junk.
Every other animals gets the hell out of the burning building as fast as possible.

 

Hi Sean,

They do charge but nothing comes out of your pocket. I went to the Knight school. While I was in training I received $400/wk pay, they paid for my room (no room mates, had a room to myself). I agreed to pay $25/week out of my pay when I graduated.

I'd suggest you call a recruiter and they'll give you more detail. Like I said, it's been a year since I graduated so their policy may have changed.

In the past year I've had 5 pay increases, am sitting in a brand new truck (had 310 miles on it when I picked it up) and am taking home about a grand a week. The company has been fair with me, the miles are good, and I have no complaints. Hope this helps.

Trainees who elect to finance the remained fees owed will agree to a weekly deduction of $50 from payroll until the balance due is paid in full. The deductions will not start until the Trainee has progressed to driving solo.

** Valid credit cards, money orders or bank checks will be accepted to pay for training. Cash or personal checks will not be accepted.
Training Cancellation, withdrawal from the course Trainee employment status is at will. All down payments are non-refundable.
Trainee Employee Dismissal and Withdrawal from the Course Trainee Employees with un-satisfactory progress reports of knowledge and skills during the CDL training process may voluntarily withdraw from the course or may be involuntarily dismissed. Trainees must maintain an average of 80% on each skill at the completion of training. Trainees must pass the state CDL skills test with an average score of 80% or better to obtain their CDL. If a trainee withdraws from the course or fails CDL testing attempts, the trainee may re-apply upon approval of Knight Management.
