| I think that most of the reviews on these "start up" companies are going to be bad. You have to start somewhere though. I'm supposed to start training on the 15th for USA too, but I'm will be going to Little Rock. |

| Thank you for the info. Decided to pay for school myself and not feel obligated to any company for a year or more. Hope it opens more doors for me. |

| it is best if possible to pay upfront at the school. it will cost 1400.00 for the school and another 300.00 for board. you will not be obligated to stay with a certain company or forfiet 5000.00 dollars. I wish now I had done this. I drove for usa one month and then left.they used me for a team driver in training, after being in the truck for only two hours on my first day of training my trainer went into the sleeper and didn't come out untill we were two states and 500 miles away. the next morning I drove thru dallas tx during rush hour traffic while my trainer still slept. this went on thru my whole training. I was averaging 3400 miles a week for 350.00 a week while my trainer slept and got paid .42cents per mile for all my miles too. |

| My experience with USA was most undesirable, but its definitely doable. A good friend of mine whom I met at drivers solutions is just finishing up his year at USA. I only stayed for 4 months. They are cheap and like to take advantage of new drivers. And at some point in time they will take advantage of you. Just have to stand up for yourself. Its very important to have a good relationship with your fleet manager. Have an understanding with him/her and your year will be bearable. Good luck in school and make sure you KNOW your pre-trip inspection. Alot of folks get hit on the break check, so study! Everything else will come. |

| I know people who have gone through Driver Solutions in Indianapolis and St. Louis. They also have some other schools I think in Arkansas, Texas and Fort Wayne IN. My cousin works for a division of PAM (Decker) and I know others who work for PAM. My cousin graduated for the Indy camps and loved it. The training was really good and he graduated in 3 weeks. They paid for his physical and gave him some cash while he was in school. PAM was paying for his schooling. He could have also gone with USA but picked PAM because they could get him to the East Coast more often. I live in Indiana and drive past their school in Indianapolis fairly often. It’s always busy and seems to have 20-30 trucks. The building looks brand new, but I know they’ve been in Indianapolis for a long time. USA and PAM both hire a lot of entry level people, so you gotta go into it with realistic expectations. Work hard, get your year in…then move on if you want to. Based on the people I know who have done it, it was a pretty good way to get your foot in the door. |
