Looking for Company sponsored school for PA resident

Earl Henderson Trucking = no cash needed for the school. Maybe need some cash for the permit, but not sure. Info is on their website.
Meals, hotel, transportation to the school furnished.

 

Not being disrespectful but if you can't scrap up some money to get you started going to school and paying for dinner and odds and ends your probably better off getting a part time job and saving some money up.I've seen many people start off with no money and 2 weeks or so of training to get your license before you make a paycheck puts them over the edge.You'll be advancing more money just to keep afloat than you should and be in the hole for awhile once you do get rolling.

You have to figure 2 weeks to get your license at most company schools and I don't think they pay you for that.Then you go with a trainer for what 4 or 5 weeks making what $500 a week?You'll be advancing money to get food for the time on the road and other necessities.Then you may have to send money home so if your married can either one of you live on that for a week for 5 weeks straight?

Again not trying to be mean but have seen and heard many a driver digging a deep financial hole because they weren't prepared for the hit you take training.Then they blame the company for not giving them enough miles to pay their bills.

 

You're in PA you will need to pay for your DOT yourself look around may find it for $150. Swift will pay for you bus ride and motel that's all during your training. You will need to bring cash for the 3 weeks to eat or go to Walmart and buy some bread and P&G and tuff it out if this is what you want.

 

Henderson pays for all that.

Sometimes the state has funds to pay for CDL school through the unemployment office.

 

And that's his best choice of swift is saying he has to pay for the DOT. Seems like he wants Everything free but at the end the more you get free the more you have to pay back once your finished

 

Look into Maverick.
