    OK, I am in Sarasota and would like to go with Stevens. Would I have to go to Dallas for the training and if so what address would I use since I know no one in Texas and have a Florida license? And if I don't go with Stevens, are there any other companies in Florida that has a CDL mill, I mean that has a three week school in order for me to get my CDL and then work for them for a year to pay it off?

    Thanks!

    Yes, you would go to school in Dallas. You would use the motel address to get your Tx. CDL then transfer it to Fla. But act before september 14th when the rules will change.

    If you want to call Stevens a CDL Mill, please go elsewhere.

    Unlike a CDL mill, your training does not end with you CDL. In fact it does not begin until you get your CDL.

    Your training will take around 6 months to complete before you are a fleet driver.

    If you arw coming into rhis.with the expectation that you will be done in three weeks, do youself a favor and bring enough cash for a return ticket to Sarasota as you will probably npt.be staying the whole course.

    Wow. Thanks for that deep insight. As if I was thinking three weeks and then I'm a trucker. I didn't even hint that that was what I was thinking. :biggrin_2552:

    I Report to Stevens on Sunday the 23rd...what all can I expect during my first day?
    Hey All..Newbie Trucker dude here. Just got my class A on Friday. I am supposed to report to Stevens in Dallas on Sunday the 23rd for orientation. I am hoping to gain as clear a picture as possible on what to expect on my first day when I report in..how to dress, what all to expect. I welcome as much detail as you may have. Thanks a lot!!
