| Driver Solutions Where are they located at? From what I gather they are in Ft. Wayne and St. Louis. I am in MI and am looking to get started and from what I have read PAM is a good company to start with. Just need to know where the schooling takes place. Thanks. Website says that PAM pays you WHILE you train? I can't believe that one.... Last edited by boughtout; 09.23.2008 at 10.01 PM.  |

| Great school, but I'd pay my own way if I were you. Pam sponsors students but you have to sign a 1 yr contract. If you pay your own way ($3,995 – cash discount price) you’ll get a better job, make more money your first year, and not have to sign a contract. They also have a school in Indianapolis, and I know 3 people who have gone through that one. Fort Wayne is much closer to you though. |

| Thanks, but up-front cash is something that I seriously lack.  I don't have a problem working for a little less money. My wife has a very good job, and I don't need to get rich. Not yet, anyway..... Thanks again. |

| I have read a few rip-off reports about DS. There were a few stating the individual had been put out of school for a strange reasons ie: applied once before, company that pre hired ended up saying no ect. Some even stated DS would not tell them until after the 6 day grace period, leaving them to pay. Anyone have any idea why this is? I have recently been looking in to DS, but would rather not deal with any situation like this. |

| i have a few VERY detailed threads about USA and driver solutions. if your ducks are all in a row and MVR ETC are good you shouldnt have a problem getting hired by one of the Cos they recruit for. i personally would recommend doing your yr with USA. i was happy there for mine.

| Thank you Pat. I have been looking deeply into USA. That will most likely be the company I choose. Just reading those reports made me nervous considering I can't just pay out of pocket for school. |

| i am scheduled to go to newport, AR (ASU campus) on monday the 20th with DS. I do think my ducks are all lined up and I know my DMV record is clean, all these post really add to the anxiety level about jumping into this. I really want to drive a truck and am really exited about the chance to learn at DS but man really nervous also. I did get a pre-hire from PAM, I hope that is worth more than the phone call it took to hear the news. If anyone wants to relieve some stress from a newbie sure would appreciate the encouragement. thanks |

| I look forward to working for them. Hopefully they will be one of my choices. I really am hoping to get into school this time of year. I think getting some experience during the winter from the start would be best. |
