    Im working on a 40hr Refresher at the DDA in little rock! I was looking at prime and Mav but now that i've been there at DDA they keep talking about schneider.

    I've have had CDL fore two year but drove only 6months over just about two years ago! I have a good work History, Since I have my CDL what will i have to go threw to drive for them? I know I will be with a trainer for some time. Is there any test they do? Would they send me to WestMemphis, Thats only 3 hrs away from me.

    Idk if west Memphis has a training facility if not you would come to Indy do a week class room and driving then go out with a te for a week then come back to Indy do your skill qualification and get a truck assignment. I just finished all that up and am heading to MN to get my truck tomorrow.. all straight forward and easy if you have your skills together.

    What is all the classroom work about? Classroom work is not my best thing! I can do it, It just takes me a little longer then most other people.

    Don't sweat it.. its pretty easy and they walk you through it and any test is open book. Mostly trip planning and some pro treads work.. classroom isn't very long at all...

    Pay depends on what you run.. I made a little less than 500 a week for training..and will make around 700 while driving.

    Pay in trucking varies greatly if you have endorsements to not be limited to general freight. Experience and if you get lucky to get assigned a reliable truck. My truck has broken down four times since I started. Word of advice. Save your money when the times are going right. They will starve you with $65 a day with breakdown pay. If you accept a loaner, I've heard stories of people having to hunt down their belongings after their truck was given to someone else.
