well if your money is str8 then good cuz they will let u stay till the 2nd week then kick u out if u dont have the finances the only company that came the 2 weeks i was there was stevens and there 26cents a mile and no home time and one guy ask do u get to request any holidays off he said thankgiving, christmas pick 1 and the recruiter admitted that they keep their drivers out atleast 6-8 weeks at a time and thats comin from the recruiter swift hire from there but only if ur willing to team and covenant hire from there if 27cents sound good to u. placement LOL!!!!!!! do ur own becuz if u dont get 1/3 three they tell u good luck and stevens say u have to be 24yr old so for u its 1/2 and if u dont wanna team then hopefully covenant will take u. and just to let u know it sucks in florida no 1 is hiring but those three. about RM the instructors are top notch ill give them that i learned alot in two weeks mind u that ive been riding with my daddy across the 48 since i was outta diapers and i still learned alot although i was more advanced than other but u will learn. trucks are 10 spd volvos alright i guess if u wanna know nething in depth lemme know

USA Roadmaster

I when to roadmaster in Tampa and they are a pain in the rear.Most of the trainers are ok but there are few that are hard a**es.Not a bad school over all just a place to learn how drive 18 wheelers.The only bad thing about them is when you go on the road,you go with 4 to 6 other students and only get maybe a 45 minute drive per section if lucky.You also look into SAGE schools,I heard there lot better than roadmaster plus you get one on one training with the teacher.
