    6 Weeks training doesn't bother me. It's still a paycheck and I could learn plenty during that time.

    Nice starting pay and miles. Do you guys stay out 2 weeks at a time or is it home weekly?

    I would much rather do 6 weeks training at low pay and get a good paying position after, than be locked into months of work at a low CPM after a short training period.

    New guys listen to this.
    Training will suck. No way around it that I know of. Look at what you're getting when you finish training, that's what matters.
     
    Locke and Bob Dobalina Thank this.

    Oh, yeah! My thoughts exactly. 6 weeks is nothing. Month and a half at 400 a week... that's a little low on training pay but not a deal breaker and the pay after 6 weeks more than works for me.

    Now let's see if he gives me the company name or makes me do a google scavenger hunt

    With paschall, the actual training period is only a couple weeks but then its close to 6 months of teaming..and not the same person the whole time either. So it's like 6 months of training. Now, ultimately, if that's what I have to do to get into trucking and take care of my family, I will do it. I'll bite the bullett. But if I can find something that is better, I'm gonna jump on it.

    I would not count or go to any company that would make me rain with a trainer that is really a team. I also wouldn't go to one that has student driver teams after training. Just all in all a cheap way to make money.

    I would hope but for some reason I don't see it happening. But it's quite often.
