I am seriously considering USA Truck as where I want to get my CDL-A and to go to work for. However, I don't have a lot of money to pay for a CDL school up front. Can someone please shed some light on what my up front costs would be to get into USA Truck going this route? Thanks.

Good qustion for j-frog when i went to orintation they told a driver they would pay after he was there awhile 6 months i think

If you want to sign a contract for 1 year, I believe it was called Driver Solutions. There's one in Fort Worth.texasbigbird54 Thanks this.

Thanks. I checked, and USA Truck does work with Driver Solutions as does PAM. If I am forced to sign a contract to get into trucking, one of these two companies would be a good starter company I reckon from my research so far. Driver Solutions looks like a pretty good deal to me.

Driver solutions does or did work with USA, that is who paid for my schooling. You are obligated a one year contract with USA from hire date to, your one full year anvi. Date. $5999.98 was how much the school was, they deduct $50 a week from your pay check I think h only end up paying around $1400-1600.of it and USA pays the rest if you stay your one full year. Now that being said if u breach that contract u are responsible for the full amount. That is with driver solutions, and not to scare u but they will come after u for the money, but they will work with u to resolve, either deduct it from your checking account, or u can pay the full amount. They are also obligated to help you find anotherjob if you and uUSA do not work out. Most likely try and get u on with pam.

Also I forgot, if you go thru driver solutions they put u with either company, don't quote me on it but I don't know if you have a choice which they send you to, I know when j went to cdl school about 75% of my class went to USA and the other went to Pam. Something i ask the driver solution recruiter.
-
Yep Driver Solution. You pay nothing upfront. When you get upgraded to a first seat driver in your own truck you pay 25 bucks a week for the 1100 or so that you are responsible for then after a year USA truck will consider the contract obligation met.

This actually sounds like a very good deal to me if I cannot come up with school money on my own. That is still up in the air at this point. If I can come up with the money in advance, most likely I would go with Con-Way and attend the JC associated with them in Joplin MO.

Its not a bad deal with driver solutions , as long as u can tough it out for the one year, like I said its a little rough at the start gets better. Its all what u make of it.
texasbigbird54 Thanks this. -
This is what most of the long timers say about the first year. I can stand just about any job for a year's time that I can handle physically. Every job I have had has its good and bad points.
