Hearing horror stories....

The point of the advice was that even with a brand new CDL in your pocket, there is still much to learn....

7 yrs ago is a story from yesteryear?? No wonder I can hear my deceased Grandma calling me home for dinner...... Well,I'm gonna put on my suit and lay down......

 

The world of trucking is changing quick, and now with the FMCSA insurance back track system and driver / company rating system, there are too many checks and balances in place to have a student on board without the proper proven structured training. They become a liability to the company. I wish it was like the old days........but they are gone for good.

 

I went thru this in 08. I went to a school that taught 1 on 1. I think I was taught the best way possible. The trouble was the school didn't have guaranteed hiring. I tried to get a driving job with every one, but if they responded they told Me that I had to go to their school to get a job. I finaly bit the bullet Jan. 3 and started C1 trucking school. They told Me that if I pass there school USA trucking will hire Me. If the driver training You will let You drive with Him go for it. The killer might be the insurance cost for You. I have been told it's $8,000 a year for a new driver. The big boys eat this with self insurance. Good Luck Scott

 

If you do decide to go to an accredited school stay away from a mill that wants $4000 and up! Look for a community college or trade school that has the course for many dollars cheaper and with a better class structure! And stay away from any of these megas that teach, pay you piddling pay and pull the 'training" pay out of the check!
