    I was making that as a company solo at Heartland about 7 years ago. Best advice, STAY AWAY FROM ANY LEASE PROGRAM FROM ANY COMPANY. Best option, deal with the crap for at LEAST the first year, then get your experience up, then find a higher pay and mileage company to work for, but do your due dilegence. Don't listen to most of the drivers, because they are only interested in a referral bonus. Call the same company twice and speak to two different recruiters. That's a good way of finding out if they are legitimately telling the truth, or feeding you a line. Don't jump around from company to company, it will make you look unreliable and not hireable.

    Getting through the training process. I'm not going to lie the trainers are on you 24/7! But you have to remember that this job is dangerous; a little mistake can take someone's life or your own. Still love the school though. Ready to hit the road

    My bmi is at 32 according to the bmi calculator, my neck size is just under 17 inches, i measured a string out 17 inches and wrapped it around my neck and still had a few inches left. My uncle measured me with a tape measure and it was right at 17 but that was with the tape measure being bent and not completely flush. Im 5 ft 6 200 pounds. Do you think that i have any issues with possible sleep apnea testing. I have no issues sleeping, going to sleep or staying asleep. How do they determine sleep apnea testing

    Honestly they didn't do any of that. It was just a box saying " do you have sleep apnea?" If you do check yes. If not check no. If you check no that's the end of that.

    Oh ok really seems kind of lacking but I am glad to hear it. Right now I have two forms for gaps in employment one while in high school and the other after a seasonal job played out. I was self employed during that time though. I am looking at starting training in late March or early April just to save up some more money and study. Also do they still do the 500 Dollar gift card if you pass the permit first time around

    Which part is lacking? It's great you're studying. Yea they still give you 500 for passing.
