Started training at cartersville 19April

Good luck! Millis turned me down....not enough freight in Mississippi south of I-20 running across mid-state. Keep us updated on your progress Lewie!!

 

Oldnewiegonnabe, have you looked into schneider they used to have a southeast kimberly clark account that would get you home . As far as company they wasn't that bad kept me busy that's been a long time ago but I know they still have that account .

 

I don't think they do training anymore. I read somewhere they suspended the program for now. I could be wrong though. I was interested in them as well until I found out about the training. Check their website oldnewbie. Don't get discouraged. There is a place out there where you will be able to get your training and pursue your trucking career.

 

I'd love to have Schneider as a possibility but the closest Schneider approved school to me in MS is over 150 miles away. Room and board, tuition, etc makes it not so good a deal. No dorms at the CC where the course is offered either. I'd have to rent a place.

 

Have you talked to a Schneider recruiter ? They may accept from other schools, but not advertise it.

 

I'll call or email them in the a.m. I'd hate to find out after the fact that they were a possibility after all. Sometimes it's good to push the envelope. Thanks!

 

wats up fellas? just got back home for a few days after a 3wk tour of duty with my trainer. seen alot of places and turned alot of miles in 3wks. i'm telling everyone up front, trucking is a tough #### job guys. alot of people on this board said so, now i believe them. this job is the most challenging thing i have ever done. i have 2 more weeks and hopefully i will get my own truck. good luck lewie and keep pushing brother.

 

How does the training work for Millis? You went through the school right? then out for 3 weeks?
then out how many more?
I've narrowed it down to Millis and Roehl. Both run through my area pretty well. Millis is a little cheaper and the training pay is a little better. Both are more then what I make now. I got a call from Roehl saying I'm ready to get booked into the system. I'm waiting to hear back from Millis tomorrow. Talked to the recuiter today, they said I should know by tomorrow. It is getting exciting here!
