Please bear with me, I am looking at various trucking companies, I will have me class A at the end of next week and have offers from WCX, Werner, Stevens and Rohel. I was with FedEx Express for 15 years and now looking to get into trucking. I have been reading some real horror stories about some of these companies. So what is the story? $60 a day for 13 days, then $65 for the next 13, then on to my own truck.... also a promise to cover my tuition of $4500 (Roadmaster Trucking School) over a 6month span. This offer came from Rohel. WCX wants to sign me now, no crap, ran employment hist. talked to me on phone 2x has work for me at end of over road training. PLEASE HELP, ARE THERE REAL JOBS FOR US F.N.G.'s (####### New Guys)?

Id start out with ROEHL myself they seem to have a decent starting program

Oh yes, trucking is a life long lesson in self flagellation. And they charge us dearly for the effort.
Go with Roehl, Watkins and Shepard, or Conway Truckload for maximum benefit and fast tracking.
All else aside, you need only to remember how FedEx treated it's outside carriers while you worked for them. And expect it to be much worse for you...at other places. -
This does not sound accurate. generally, it's $100/ 9k miles (about $100/month)
$4500 over 6 months, would mean they're reimbursing you at almost $200/ week. -
i thought it was paid back to you ober a year on the road, and if you go to RDTC then your loan is paid off after 2 yrs or 120K miles

I thank you all for the input. I am going to go with Conway, just found out I got a great inside source on them. They will meet my needs and how I want to drive... Looking forword to coming back with a positive report!

I just started with Watkins Shepard. Great company, good benefits. Many options, they have tuition reimbursement again now, paid 10 day Orientation. Good luck personally I narrowed myself down to May or Watkins Shepard and Chose Watkins because I did not want to be in the truck with a trainer who used me to make his money for a few weeks.
I have several threads on here, from my school to my 10 days and now my 1st few weeks with Watkins.
Good Luck.
