Starting Celadon/Quality on Monday WOOHOO

Hi everyone, Im new to the forum, but I am starting Quality driving schools on Monday! My recruiter was Wendy (she was real nice) and I have to pay nothing out of pocket so far to my understanding.

A little about me, Im 24 years old, Army vet, laid back, and just wanna hop on the road. I live in Fort Wayne, IN. and was stationed in 2ID 1HBCT 302BSB Camp casey South Korea....... Any vets out there? haha

Ill keep you updated as I move along

 

Thanks everyone. Im also not 100% sure about the Celadon 240K mile commitment.... should I just stick it out? Or should I just go with a different company?

I have a few prehires, 1 of which is a locomotive fueling position, and another out in PA that a fellow vet reffered me to... they pay actually pretty good in my terms.

The reason im asking is I spoke with the VA about my Post 9/11 GI bill and they said they would cover an "approved" school.... low and behold that Quality and a local school in Fort Wayne isnt covered by it... but I can, however, use a grant I was approved for. Any thoughts?

 

Well the recruiter said it would be 3 weeks, which is fine, but after that i would have to do the 240K commitment, so the cdl school would be free. Otherwise, i could go with the other prehires, and get paid a lot more, and pay off the school by myself, or use the Grant to pay it off...... how do you feel about that @secorp?

 

Thats what was so cool about the locomotive prehire i got. Generally, on his ads, the company asks for 2 years exp. but at the bottom it says vets are encouraged to apply... I was just like "So without further a due" lol Pretty cool getting the prehire i must say.

I think coming from the military, one thing that stuck with me.... recruiters are not always trustworthy but Ms Wendy seemed cool. so did SSG _______ (my Army recruiter) lol

And I did a lot of research, and looked at their FB page which has reviews from all new drivers... 9/10 arent getting paid, arent getting loads and sitting forever, or their checks are shorted.... which if that were to happen to me, GI BILL will come in handy haha
