I see you can now apply for YRC's CDL School. Can anyone tell me about the training? Company culture? Pay, benefits, etc? Thanks!!

I don't know anything about the CDL School to obtain your CDL through YRC but I do know if you work as a casual on the dock for awhile and prove yourself (and already have a CDL-A with no experience) they will but you through a program to get on as a driver ( Road or Peddle).
Njhandofdoom and Sean_Memphis Thank this. -
Yeah, they have a CDL School in Chicago.

Once you pass the school and get into orientation it's 17.89 an hour and .47 per mile. 100% paid benefits( medical, dental, vision) for you and your spouse and kids. You always will get paid either by the mile or hourly for breakdowns, drop and hook, traffic delays, waiting for your load etc... The pay is 85% of scale and you will have to join the teamsters union.
The trainers were awesome! They teach you all the stuff you need to know and all the tricks for backing. Very patient and cool dudes. Small class sizes, mine had 8 guys. They teach you in a day cab with a pup trailer.
I hope this gives you some info. They started their own school because most of there drivers are between 50-80 years old. Seems like a great start to truck driving.crazeydude and Sean_Memphis Thank this. -
Digman943, Do you live in the Chicago Area?

Here in Memphis, I only see new(er) YRC Trucks on the road. What does it take to get hours where you are? What is top scale? No pension?
Waggledaddy Thanks this. -

I spoke with a couple guys from past classes and they are making money on the team runs. They told us teams for the first 6 months to a year until we can hold a bid. No one with high seniority wants team runs so there's plenty of work for new guys in Chicago.
Sean_Memphis Thanks this. -
