    I've had two students required to do 6 months teams. You don't know what you're talking about. It may not be required for everyone, but it is required for some. Both of my required team drivers have been from Texas, so it may only apply to students from there. I'll admit, I'm not 100% sure on the details of who is and isn't required to do teams, but to say it's "not mandatory" is just a flat out lie.

    Current wait is 1-2 weeks right now. It was at one point about 4 weeks, but since more trainers have been added, the wait time has been cut down.

    No pay advances during training. You only get a $50 sign on bonus when you get on the trainer's truck.

    Hiya DJ....

    Anyway, yes it is required.... New policy... However, if they can not find a team driver within 100 miles of you, then you run solo until either they do OR you complete 6 months...

    Trust me, I am a credible source...
