Just got my cdl from the green bay schneider acadamy!

Hey Tip,
Here are my notes, good as of today (don't ask) per Schneider recruiter:
For Charlotte training center (that's the closest one to me)
5K outright (tuition deferment with a contract of 18 mos).
Paid back with payroll deduction of $13.89 per week ($55.56 per month) for 18 mos = $900 IF you stay w/Schneider for 18 mos.

I suppose if you quit, the contract you sign would be enforceable for the entire $5K.

Hope this helps.

 

That's what I suspected. Thanks a bunch.

I know I'd never go this route, but to each his own.

 

Much safer than driving in Iraq for a year making 100,000, or ice trucking...

 

But what about challenge and adventure?

 

Atlanta during rush hour.

 

When I signed on in March/April 2007 it was $3500 or free after 12 months of working with Schneider and no payroll deduction.

Many tech schools have CDL training for $1500 or so, but then you need to find a company to hire you (many won't without experience)

 

Each school has a different cost. The Fontana OC has a cost of about 4500 bucks. You pay 15ish each paycheck and they pay 55 themselves. IF you stay with them for 18 months, they will pay most of the cost with you paying about 900 of the total cost of tuition. If you cut out early or whatever, you will have to pay the rest of amount on your own at a certain percentage rate, here 18%

 

Or staying at the Montibello yard... Been there done that a LONG time ago when I had a "un ripe" pumpkin to drive.

 

try about $6,500 with interest if you quit or fail towards the end of training. Good deal as long as you know you can make the 1 1/2 years with a 115% turnover ration that's a tough one to chew.
