    Just got a call from Katrina over at Stevens.

    Asked me if I was looking to go over the road etc...

    Told her I was looking to get my CDL and yes I wanting to hit the road.

    Then she proceeded to ask me how much money I made for the last couple years,,

    Told her I did not have the figures handy I would have to look them up.

    Then she seemed to get quite pushy..

    Wanted to know if I made x amount etc...

    Told her again I did not have any figures handy I would have to look them up.

    She told me ok then My name is Katrina call when you have those numbers.

    Can anyone tell me why she would need to know how much money I made in the past? How does this matter?

    I'm guessing trying to gauge your willingness to work so they can be repaid for your training.

    I don't have any idea if they receive funds from outside sources, but perhaps that information is key to them getting any financial assistance.

    But again...I don't have a clue and frankly don't think it's any of their business. I'd ask Katrina why they need to know.

    make up a number and give it to them they don't need to know what you made.And if i'm ever asked that I tell them about 2500 a month that's just me . Also if I remember correctly thats not something an interviewer is suppose to ask anyway but I could be wrong.

    I did ask her several times but did not get an answer except for her saying I have to have it.

    No reason...no figures. I'd tell her to gently place her inquiry where the sun has no presence.

    He is right they might get a outside source fo assistance if your low income. But ask it don't hurt and tell her that it is personal info and you'd like to know why don't be mean about it but just ask

    Hubby is going through their process now. They require W-2's and detailed tax information to be enrolled in their school. I'm guessing it's along the lines of what "BIG RIGGER" said "I'm guessing trying to gauge your willingness to work so they can be repaid for your training."

    TBH, it doesn't sound abnormal or out of line at all to me. I've been to several different schools, and they always require some sort of personal information.
