    Yes. Don't know for a fact, but one driver posted your lodging is the truck you'll be assigned at graduation. I'd like that much more than sharing a motel room with someone I don't know.

    Times are tough; apply with CR England also. I see their trucks often running through Las Vegas and they look new and well maintained.

    Triple bunking is for training only. There were 5 of us in one truck when I attended cdl school. I didn't care; I needed a job ASAP so that wasn't important to me.

    They run solos once training is done?

    I see solo drivers often here in Las Vegas that drive for CR England and CRST. Look like they're on dedicated runs, such as Target, Walmart, etc.

    Alright… shooting an app in now. I don’t much care if we bunk 10 people in a truck if it’s just for training lol

    @buddha_ --

    "Think outside the box".

    Elsewhere, I see a good number of job ads for Western Dairy Transport.

    This would be food-grade (non-hazmat) tanker duty.

    Food-grade tanker duty is VER-RY recession resistant work. :)

    Western Dairy will provide you with meals and lodging while you get your CDL with them.

    Western Dairy will also pay you a salary while you do all this.

    Afterwards--you'll have a job waiting for you with them when you finish.

    Western Dairy Transport (wdtmilk.com)

    You might also give them a try.

    Right, always look at the big picture and how that benefits you.

    Gonna have to call tomorrow, their app requires valid CDL. Seems like they only do a dock-to-driver program though from what I’m seeing, unless I’m misreading this brochure.
