    Why does it seem like some carriers just want to screw you in the training process? I called someone today, (I wont mention who) they only wanted 10cents a mile for training and 55$ a day for classroom stuff... thats insane!

    Why won't you name the company? Save someone the trouble of going there.

    Another thing to watch out for...will you be driving side by side with your trainer or running team. Side by side good...team not so much.

    Don't go there as a solo driver; that's a team company.
