Hello, I recently obtained my class-a from c1 school in indy. I had been schedualed to go with PAM but waited 3 weeks and never got a trainer, so I called and USA said I could attend thier orientation this Monday. I have been reading and some things seem quite different than I thought, this is what I was expecting:
-3 to 4 day orientation with classes then assigned a trainer
-Some people I was in c1 with that went to USA right off the bat said road test and backing was done after training for c1 students.
-4-6 week with trainer then back for tests then assigned truck
-$120 for orientation,$70 if you didn't take a bus, $350 while with the trainer then 26cpm solo truck.
-drug test but the dot physical card I have was accepted.
I don't have huge expectations, but I have had my CDL now for a month and haven't even been in a truck since my state test. My wife is having a fit about me not working yet, and I feel the same way. Anything you all can tell me about just the orientation would be great, if you have more info that would be great too.
