DOT requires even experienced drivers to go through training but it's mostly just to teach you their system and how they want things done. It's 2 weeks in classroom and 2 or 3 weeks of driving pays $1300 gross per week. If they consider you a student driver it'll be longer. It would be worth the hassle either way.
I second what Chinatown says when they ask you how well you get along with previous dispatchers you tell them you always strive to work well with everyone and do not bad mouth previous employers. Because they will ask you that question and if you talk a bunch of badmouth nonsense about previous employers and co-workers you won't get the job.

The more I read experiences like these the more I am convinced that there is a big con going on in the trucking industry, it's another way companies can make money off you, like all it takes is for the company to do a driver assessment, just like with universities prior learning is recognized and your given credits for it, so to the same should apply in the transportation industry. Like you describe the company basically owns your hide, till you work for them for that 12 month period probably on minimum wages while they rake in the big dollars. Its when actions like these happen I can understand why union movements started up, unfortunately the unions who originally supported the worker got greedy as well and only thought about their own bank balances, so the unions got a bad reputation also. It would seem the whole world has gone down the sewer so to speak.
