I am thinking about going to school for my CDL w/ Driver Solutions via sponsorship through Pam Transport. I am scared to death due to all the negativity I am reading on these job sites. I don't mind at all being away from home if there is money to be made. I just don't want to leave home and be broke and stranded..bcs currently I am employed full time...I'm just looking to make more money.
They want me to go to school for 3 weeks in Ft Worth TX and then start driving Team for Pam. I guess my question in all of this..is ARE THERE MILES TO BE DRIVEN and ARE THERE LOADS. What can I expect to drive each week?
Thanks..

Probably better off going to school on your own. You won't be stuck in a contract and you can start off with a better company and get paid more

Ask yourself what goals you have in your life? If its to get one step in the industry then PAM is an ok option; but there are more ... Above all else. Be safe driver!copetheghost and Skydivedavec Thank this. -
Thanks for the advice you gave me yesterday. I don't make anywhere near 30k per year. I make more like 17k. Pretty pathetic. So, for me to live comfortable starting out (no, I don't have a sick family member or a family that needs me home all the time, or kids or anything like that..) my expectation is at least $600-1000 per week. Is that unrealistic? I have that expectation bcs I know I am just starting out and I don't expect to make a million dollars my first year..and I figure it is going to be tough. I want to stay busy -- that's my main objective. Stay busy and make money and get a year under my belt.
If I can make $600-1000 per week, I'm set and I know I can do this.
I have to give these folks an answer by this coming Friday.Skydivedavec Thanks this. -
