Consensus on who are considered the mega carrier training companies?

Right, Class A coming in the door. 1 year $2,500 contract just to ride with their "trainer" for 3 - 4 weeks. Then get issued a rag International that might make it down the road without issues. They are a revolving door.

 

No CDL school. Now my thought process is going to what state prison system they’re working with for work release programs.

 

I don't think Freymiller will help you get a cdl. They'll hire you and put you through training though if you already have one, but no experience.

 

They have gotten desperate. They are now offering that assistance, or they were.

 

Freymiller website isn't clear on that.

Company has gone down hill for sure. $400.00 per week - taxes & road expenses for 6 weeks out w/trainer is pitiful. No hometime during. Mileage pay is nothing to brag about also. All OTR & sketchy hometime options.

Better options are out there.
