    sorry yes i ate out at lunch and dinner and no not one nice rest. your avg meal is 6$ so 12$ a day =252 then if you get anything else other then mcdonalds it goes up to almost 20$ a day=302 then you have weekends sorry not a big fast food addict so weekends would be maybe ryans or something similar so a few more bucks then if you buy food at walmart it was a few more bucks i am not 100% positive how i spent the money but I know I did cause I had to use money to get back and drive around while i was there its like 20 min each way from school. plus i live 14 hours from school so more money to spend and also food on the way home. it gets expensive yeah they give you money but I also saved it till I got home to cover the license and everything else school related.

    I been busy with freight but the miles are still going down weekly it sucks when your just out of school cause of all the fees coming out of your check the first year. I am sitting ok cause my girl makes good money so it is keeping us afloat now my checks are being used as just in case money for her. and money for me while im on the road.

    Driver's solutions will accept almost anybody so long as you are paying up there money. With a felony 9 years ago, the chances of you going to work with pam or USA truck is nill.

    Most decent schools require that your felony is 10 years old or they make you sign an employment waiver. (meaning, they know from the outset that they probably can't put you to work)

    You are better off staying here in Ga. Go to a tech college, and then work your tail off finding a company to hire you. You're truly wasting your time and money going out to Arkansas.

    JRide,

    I've got a good man for you, if your company still has a truck open. I trained him about 3 months ago, probably one of the best students we've had but he had an armed robbery in 1988. Clean ever since.

    I've delivered pizza for 4.5 years and am really considering entering the trucking industry. I have a bachelor's degree but I get sick at the thought of working a 9 to 5 and having to wear heals and a dress suit. In 2006 I went on a 2 month/10,000 mile road trip in which me and my bf slept in the front seats of my '93 Escort every night. We visited every state West of Missouri except for 3. We'd usually park at a truck stop but used scenic viewpoints on the sides of the roads if we couldn't find anywhere else to park for the night. (Thanks, btw, for blocking the morning sun from our eyes with your big rigs.) :) I remember one day we covered about a third of the perimeter of Montana. I miss the freedom of being able to see the country and am getting depressed still living in this same town I grew up in. I go on country cruises every day, usually for at least an hour but it's always in circles and I hate the fact that I never get anywhere. (I put about 2,000 miles a month on my car and only leave the county a few times a year.) I think being a truck driver would be the perfect career for me. I live by myself so I really don't have any life circumstances stopping me from doing this.

    I went to Monster and entered "Driver" and the only thing that came up was Driver Solutions. It says:

    If you don't put any money down on tuition then you only get .24/mile your first year of work. They only require a one year contract. They say the company I would work for after training would be P.A.M. or USA Truck.


    Does this school sound like a very good opportunity or should I look elsewhere?


    BTW: I'm broke as a joke and my student loans become due next month so there's no way I could afford tuition anywhere up front.
