Past two weeks have been working with recruiter from Driver Solutions for PAM. I realize PAM isn’t the best choice, but I’m willing to do the year contract for no up front cost cdl tuition .
Seems too good to be true ,them not running a credit background check? Will a criminal record for assault 16 years ago affect my chance of them sponsoring me?

Criminal record won't hurt you.
I don't know of any trucking company sponsored cdl schools that run a credit check.
Some schools do run credit checks if you don't already have a job lined up.feldsforever and johnPaul210 Thank this. -

The record shouldn't be a problem. Other than that I can't help

I personally know someone who went the DS-PAM route a few years back. If its still the same, PAM forces you to team for the first few months... that is, you and another rookie living in a truck that is rolling 20 hours per day.
I wouldn't put my sleeping life in the hands of another rookie.
I recently (within last 60 days) spoke with another driver who went through PAM and stuck out 10 months until he couldn't bear it anymore. He said his take-home was between $400-600 per week. I guess they don't call them "Poverty And Malnutrition" for nothing.
If you absolutely can't get a grant or loan for CDL tuition independent of an indentured servitude contract, I would actually suggest SFIWT. While people like to talk crap about them, they do give newbies actual, valuable training and are honest about their pay. Stick it out for 6-9 months, then start looking around from there. I would avoid contract-for-training at all costs.johnPaul210 Thanks this. -
