    Hi there guys I'm a student currently enrolled in America's trucking in Corona. I've already finished all my hours but I still have trouble in my maneuvers "parallel and alley dock". My school wants an extra $150 per 2 hours which is a bit steep to me as I've already paid them $1300 for everything and thought they were going to train me until I pass the test but I guess all they wanted was my money and 20 hours is enough. I have no luck finding a school for cheap. I will even drive to the I.E area for the school. If you guys know of one that will train me hands on I will greatly appreciate it, thanks.

    I have my permit already and looking to take my test once I get the alley dock and parallel down.

    Swift or Knight will help you get the CDL and give you a job also.

    Do you have a job lined up already?

    Hey bud thanks for the response. Yes I work for a soda company right now and once I get my license they were going to offer me $18 an hour starting and after 6 months I will get Component pay. Spoke to a couple truckers who work for my company and they average 65-75k a year. How much does swift or knight pay to new drivers?

    Starts off with pay a bit less than what you've mentioned.

    A class/training with either may come with a price tag as well

    Better stick with the soda company; won't make anywhere near that with Swift or Knight. You can make around $60K+ with Schneider Bulk after they send you to CDL school, which they pay for. Easy money.
