calling all drivers with experience!

ive been doing a lot of research my self and after doing my home work and reading alot on this forum it boiled down to roehl and millis. ive finally decided to go to millis seems like its a great place to not only learn but a great place to drive for. just putting my .02 cents in

 

they pay during training but not during schooling, schooling is going to take about three weeks plus orientaion for a few days before traing starts.

 

You may want to check out Epes transport . Am a trainer with them . Great company ! Always glad to ans any questions ! Best of luck !

 

what is your area?

 

Wherever you are, try looking at your local tech school or community college. Some offer training along with job placement. IMO that would be to your advantage, the training is usually lots better. Good luck!

 

Like T...Street stated you may be better checking into a local Community College or Tech.School.If you pay for the school yourself or get governmemt asstance for the training it would be better.By going to a trucking co.for schooling you will be beholden to that co. If you get your CDL on your own through an approved school if trucking doesn't work out for you or the company that trains you is not a good fit you will owe the company for the training. Good luck and keep it safe.

 

I went the community college route, and I'm happy that I did. I went to work as a solo driver for a small o/o with his own authority (2 trucks) right out of school. I book my own loads going wherever I choose to go, and I don't have to chase miles since I'm paid a flat 25% of the load rate. And I don't have to worry about fulfilling a contract term in order to 'repay' the cost of schooling. It's been a steep and somewhat risky learning curve, but it turned out to be a perfect fit for me.
