I would like info on Sygma's driver trainee program from anyone who's been through it. I'm looking at the program in Harrisburg, PA. They pay for CDL training after a few weeks going out with and helping another driver make deliveries. They want a 2 year committment after CDL school. Wondering how the company is to work for and how good the pay is both before and after cdl school. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

better be ready for 2 years of getting your butt kicked. good luck with it hopefully it dosent destroy your body and you make it for the two year commitment.

I really dont know what is up with some of you that reply like that. There is nothing wrong with throwing freight as long as you do it properly and take care of yourself. Most of the restaurant companies have switched out to lift gates and the ramps are what really used to kill your knees. Proper back mechanics and warm up stretches (cool down too) make all the difference in the world for me. Its all about how you approach your job and then doing it correctly.
Why scare someone off? Yeah, its hard work but not impossible and most of the food delivery companies pay you very well for your time. -
and some drivers actually like to work lol

Thats how i got my cdl,its a lot of work but if you eat right and sleep well you should be fine.the money is really good(compared to otr noobies pay)and u still have a life.my first year i never took less than $900 home and some weeks up to$1500.had to quit cause my wife had some health issues after the first and i needed to be home at night.i recommended sygma to all my freinds,put in your two years and you'll save enough money to buy a decent truck.i did Nyc stores and upstate ny in winter and im only a 150 pound guy.just make sure you team up with the right guy,someone who wanna get work done.
PPan Thanks this. -
what wrong with my reply I told him good luck ive done this work its for the birds you bust your butt and you bring home the same or less than me sitting all day guys like I bring home 900 to 1500 congrats I do the same and better and I don't move freight stop acting like its a good job when your 40 to 50 yourbody will be shot

after how many years trucking did u start seeing a $900/$1500 paychecks?
-
after my first year when i got into food delivery and the money wasnt consistent there were weeks were it would be 500 bucks for a whole week of work it took me two years to figue out it was a joke now every week is no less than a 1000. and please dont say he will start seeing this 900 every week just starting out he wont its a once in a while type of thing
-
yes he will start seeing that money once his trainer decides he can be on his own.sygma pay structure guarantees that he will make money.23 cpm $10 a stop and i forgot how much per 1000 lbs,this was back in 2004.lot of times they call me at home to repower a load and still get paid for the whole run even if its just one stop left.im not saying its a career job but its the best option gor a new guy in trucking.
-
hes still got to go throught the xtra bored theres no telling how its looking there he may see that one week then the next week run two rts and not see it
