I'm starting School April 11th

Well I start school in Fort Worth TX and April 11th. I went threw Driver Solutions and going to be hired by USA.

I was going to go with Swift but after doing some research about the company I decided that USA would be better for me.

I haven't seen to-many bad post about USA; and was wandering if anyone here went to the Fort Worth C1 School? I'm not looking for complaints about the lodging I just want to know what to expect while at school and then working with USA afterwards.

I recently went down to the Oklahoma DMV where I live and took the written tests just to see where I was at. I missed 1 on all 3 so I think I should be OK in Texas. The test are about the same arnt they?

 

well I just got back from C1 in Fort Worth. Got my CDL and starting Orientation May 2nd.

The School in Fort Worth wasn't to bad; the instructors are pretty nice and easy to get along with. I got my CDL on the second day of the second week I was there after that there is just a lot of standing around. But I went there to get a CDL and I came home with one so I can't complain much. I will tell you this if you go to this school you need to be prepared to take all of your writtin test the second day you are there. There isn't any class room instruction at this school with the exception of log book and map's. What i learned at this school is how to back up, double clutch and float the gears and that's about it. But I do have a CDL now.

As for the hotel. The picture they have of the place on the driver solutions web site is total false. They show a sparkling swimming pool nope no pool. They advertize coffee pots in all rooms NOPE so I asked the manager he told me not for C1 people hmmmmm ok so i bought one at wallmart then they tried to take it from me. If they have them in other rooms why cant C1 students have them? I asked. Then i figured it out. They also advertize free continental breakfast and coffee. Nope not for c1 students. C1 students have to pay $3.00 and it sucks basically it is 3 day old donuts.

Now don't get me wrong I know I didn't go there for vacation but I hate being treated like a second rate person and that is the way c1 is treated at that place.

The rooms where clean how ever.

 

Can anyone tell me what to expect during orientation? Other that a ton of paper work.

 

Thanks for the reply joeycool.

Well I went thru Driver Solutions to get hired. They must have called my last employer 3 times. He called me to ask why they where calling so much LOL. So when I get to orientation is he going to be subjected to more phone calls or will they use Driver Solutions verification?

What is this per diem thing?
