    Out of these companies which in your minds offers the the best training, success in training for student drivers: Stevens Transport, Prime or Swift? What is the average training time before you start to see a pay check?

    The fact that you're asking on the bad company forums should make you think twice.

    They will begin paying you the second you get on a trainers truck. Prime pays the most @ 600 a week as a student which is by far the most you'll get anywhere as a student.

    Thanks for the info, I'm still getting use to using this web site. I think I may have posted this in the wrong area. but anyway thanks. Do you enjoy what you do? and would you recommend it to someone else?

    Is there no community college or school near you that offers a truck driving program?

    I honestly wouldn't recommend any of those companies listed. I usually hear pretty good things about newbies starting at Schneider. Conway is another good one. I think FedEx is taking students now, too.

    I recommend it if you don't have a home life. If your young or retired and got time to kill for a adventure, then go for it.

    I would start a new list, go to you local unemployment office and see if the state has a help program at the local cdl school.

    I would say to start with either Schneider, Con Way, or TMC. Haven't seen too many negative comments about them. Good Luck to you! :biggrin_25519:

    I do not recommend this if you want or have children that you actually want to raise.
