I’ve had my class A CDL for almost 5 years but I’ve been driving class B for the last 4.
Heartland Express wants me to take their CDL course to drive for them. That’s 2 week classroom, 2 weeks skills, and then 15,000 miles with a trainer. Then you have to indenture yourself to their company for 1 year or you pay back the school.
I ALREADY HAVE MY CDL!
The recruiter told me that 80% of the class has their CDL’s and they all claim to have learned something. All that tells me is the class is full of people who are to stupid to read the contract and learned they are now Heartlands property.
I told the recruiter that my first trainer falsified his HOS logs, and my second trainer yelled consistently for the two weeks before I got my own truck. And because of that I’d want it in writing that I could record the trainer and if my trainer falsified records, belittled or yelled at me I’d be cleared of having to do the rest of the remaining 15,000 miles.
She hung up on me. I guess I wasn’t gullible enough for them.
I’m sorry but if you force people with their CDLs to retake the entire CDL class so you can indenture those drivers for 1 year so that your company’s retention numbers are high. That’s not a company for me.
Heartland Express can’t be serious?
