Financial aid questions

Schneider does this. That is who I have applied with for the very reasun that you have. So I can get it paid for over time and no out of pocket money. I think that they take 12.50 per week out of your check for it. Not sure yet because i didnt get a chance to talk to the recruiter today when she called as i was at work. Ill know more when I speak with her.

 

I find it very hard to believe if you switch companies, the new company would pick up the bill. However, I think its a pretty good deal if you can get financing from the company to go to a school outside the company... or at least a company approved school. Everyone I checked with offered tuition reimbursement but I had a heck of a time finding a bank willing to fork out thousands of dollars for my tuition. I found a credit union through the school and I finish next week. Good luck.

 

while schneider takes 12.50 from your check every week they also pay $50 to themselves twards your school, so you end up paying only $975 over the course of the 18 month contract. if you stay on with Schneider for 2 years they give you a $1000 bonus. which means you got your cdl completely on schneiders dime. and from what ive seen so far the horror stories happen to people who have a bad attitude going in (or a realy ###### dbl [dispatcher] who needs to be fired, happened to my road trainer when he first started). just remember that if you want your cdl you either pay up front or a company will "pay" for it and then force you to work for them with a contract.

 

If you get it yourself you owe no one. There are other companies out there that have schooling for alot less and 1r and no contract.Keep doing your research and you will find them.Best of luck on monday. Ps if your laid off or out of work check unemployment

 

Congrats,thats what i've got here in Rhode Island.I got a grqnt for $3500 and only have to pay balance of $1200. That union membership and cdl training. I start monday.
