    Buddy go with Pam if that's your only option the difference between me and you is I can choose but it still all boils down to which company is better but if Pam was my only option you better run to them before something changes if you are serious about trucking get your foot in the door like I am trying to and to be honest Pam was my choice but I didn't complete my application status so it's a 3 month waiting period to try again I use to run the streets to so I know where u coming from trust me but go with Pam I was and drive for that year and see wat happen like someone told me earlier in this thread in your situation buddy you have nothing to lose want nobody else hire you and if Pam is not good do your yr and get out your not to old to be disappointed is what my father tells me

    Yeah, I probably will...trouble is the only school they have left is in Indiana, so I gotta come up with money to get there and eat...so I gotta find a job here, make the money, then get back in touch and hope the door hasn't shut in my face...

    "Nothing worth it is ever easy!" Wish MY dad had been wrong about that one...*laughs* I could use a 'gimme' right now...

    They use c1 and they have a school in little rock. You are responsible for yourself though. trip out there and back and food. You can book your tickets online to save a decent chunk of travel expense though. try megabus if you can get to atlanta.

    There is only one thing that I would want to see in a contract like this - can you pay if off early and without penalties or interest?

    What I mean is that contracts should have in them the actual costs of the schooling and any diclosures of interest they charge you for using their money. If it is all spelled out, great then it leads to the my question - can yo pay it off early? If it is possible and without interest and/or penalties, I would recommend you do so as soon as you can.

    If you want to go to their school and pay for more than what you receive and you're ok not making much money then good luck to you and have fun. It just seems to me that you're falling into the same old category of falsehoods. You're chasing after the advertised dream of making a ton of money and seeing the country. Ask yourself why a trucking company would need recruiters in the first place. Do they want you to know that trucking is a wide open industry and there are great companies out there that will hire new drivers? No of course not. You'll be putting them out of a job. Find out what they do and find your own school and job. That doesn't mean to sit behind a computer all day searching sites. But if you are satisfied with the easy way then I'll say good luck and I hope you're around a year from now.
