    :biggrin_25523: is the best :D

    I have finished the school and have 5 days left of my 5 weeks with a trainer. I have nothing at all to complain about. You get great equipment, Great training, and people always willing to help you. So what you don't get great pay in the beginning... I know one things for sure. I'll be pretty dam comfortable doing it! Because of the equipment you get!! So if your looking to go to Stevens.. Don't let any of there thrashers steer you from Stevens. I'm a recent graduate and about to start solo. Stevens is a very good company to drive for.

    I am glad to hear that about Stevens training, I have already spoken to a recruiter, and have to retake my physical due to blood pressure, but now it is under control by meds, so just need to make the call again to get rescheduled.

    Looking forward to a stable career where putting your best foot forward pays off.

    Good luck!

    Correction, you are about to go into "Dumb and Dumber", Solo comes after another three weeks with a fellow trainee. Then you go Solo.

    Question guys ?, I'll be attending Stevens School In March 26th. After graduating from school and from the time you start Orientation to the time you finish your 5 weeks out, will you be allowed to go home (to be with family) ? or will you jump right into Orientation 2 ?.

    Ha Ha Ha flight watch!!Honestly I'm supposed to attend this company rather shortly but going nearly 10 thou into the hole on a three year term just isn't sitting with my heart very well.Especially as I have experience and just need a fifth wheel restriction removed.Something deep inside is telling me...I'm not gonna make out so well on this deal.As for people with no experience,it probably is one of the better companies to start with.But months on the road with little compensation for the sacrifice leads me to believe,personally,I should re-think my strategy.Stay well all you guys and thank you as always for your informative posts.
