Worried about paying for Trucking School

You're asking a lot, not that it can't be done though. That's pretty much the way it used to be.

Just a thought. Try calling CFI/Conway. There was a time CFI would send you to Crowder college outside Joplin, I think that's the correct name. At any rate, they would expect you to pay $1000 up front. That was a while ago, but what the hay, give it a shot. IMO, that would be a good way to go. I just remembered all that.

Another thought. If I heard right, it may be that SNI [Schneider] may be doing something. They have a yard in Woodhaven.
Regardless, it'll only cost you a couple phone calls. If you do call either, please let us know what you find out.

 

Hey Lupe, your post is a little confusing. Sounds like you are in a panic! Central Ref, has a school. They will pay for you to get there also. Their pay is above average and their trucks are brand new. I worked for them and they are a pretty decent company. As far as getting your cdl without schooling, in order to drive someone else's truck for practice you are going to need to be insured and have a learners permit, or the owner of the truck will need to insure you. You might want to double check your facts, I have never heard of these companies taking drivers that haven't gone through some type of schooling.

 

My husband is at school with Prime. He just has to drive with them for a year.

 

if you sign a CONTRACT with ANY COMPANY, and you break it.......you WILL BE responsible for the entire amount. THEN you will get a very bad credit report, that will stick with you for a long time.

try applying for credit then..........!!

DO NOT break any contracts..........!!!!!!!!!!

 

So you've made it to 21 without ever having a job? You could always start by getting a job and saving your pennies.

Better yet, find a small trucking outfit, ask if they need someone to grease and/or wash trucks. Thereby killing the proverbial two birds with one stone. (Getting a job and perhaps making a friend who owns a truck you could use to pass the CDL test) If you play your cards right, this could even lead up to your first trucking job.

 

What do you mean if your back can handle all that sitting?When you were in school were you standing? Do you think you can drive a truck standing up?

 

I had to chuckle about the seat cushion. Heaven knows I have plenty of that.
