PAM Trucking - Here's the plan

Ok. Their sister company prob not much better, but i dont have money for school. To me my options sre limited. Meaning im lookung at drivers solutions cause they train ya n give ya the job. Im workin at walmart in dairy i kno what rough companies r bout so i truly expect it to b hard for the first two yrs. im planning to drive out to fort wayne for August 10. My prob now is do i get the dot physical, eye test, n stress test done before going or they do it? What forms i need anyone got links - Pennsylvania. I so thank everyone for advice n opinions. Im gonna switch to USA Truck though.

 

Why I'm consider the two of them :
1.) This is my biggest reason of all -- I do not have the ability to get a loan to pay for schooling, and I truly contacted the two in my area neither takes Federal Aide to cover the cost.
2.) I really do not want to go through a school then have no job offer because of one reason or another so this way I am going to be given the job upon completion.

I have a gap in my employment and I see that Pam is a tad stricter on that than USA Truck - the last two years though I have been working for the same company - Walmart - straight through every day .. .. And being in the section of the Northeast I'm in neither has a terminal near me - but I think up by Moosic USA Truck might have a terminal. Not so sure how to check this.
I figure, I'm working for a bad company now - they do not value their employees on any level so if I have to drive for a bad company for a year it wont be anything I'm not used to and it is something I can tolerate for a year or two - I've done that here before looking elsewhere.
I'm looking longterm - I will get trained without money upfront, I'll get a job that wont be too strict on the employment gap and at some point
I wont have to do the team thing - Pam requires 6 mos team driving - USA Don't but both have you three weeks with trainer.
My goal is to eventually go solo; thinking in three months.
So I've chosen to enter this route and go with USA Truck knowing their not the best company - but their not the worst either.

 

I am 51 and I've had two stents put in my coronary artery back in 2007 - I was diagnosed with coronary artery disease I think. I am in excellent heart heath - I unload walmart dairy frozen trucks after all.
Q. Since I'm going with Drivers Solutions, for training, do I have to get my physical, eye test, and stress test myself? If anyone knows I totally appreciate your response, and if you can shoot me a link where I can get any DMV forms I need for this. How do you guys pay for it if you have to have it done on your own??

Thank you everyone for your answers and opinions - yes even opposing points of view.
