    My top schools so far was Roehl, prime and swift. But unfortunately Roehl being my top declined me because im on probation which ends this december for a minor misdemeanor for disorderly conduct. but others are willing to work with me.

    So now im focusing on Prime inc but ever since i caller the recruiter and sent my application, he never calls or try to make an attempt to call me back even though i have called 1000 times and left 1000 messages still nothing. To make matters worse, I called my local BMV about getting my CDL permit, but turns out I can't get a tanker endorsement without having my full CDL license. Which is something prime now wants you to get before you come to the school. Is there a way I could switch a recruiters and talk to somebody else because every time I try to talk to somebody else they always say oh you have to talk to your recruiter.

    All this mishaps have forced me to go to swift which is my last choice, and to be honest i'm a little scared about swift because of all the negative feedback I'm hearing about them. I have two mouths to feed and it's really hard on me because I'm not currently not working and also staying with family.

    I was wondering could I start any school to get my CDL and just break my contract and go with a trucking company thats gonna pay my school loan..?

    First went to my local CDL school dootson they were taking way to long with the training and I kept getting the run around with them and I started losing job offers so I went to swift did the 160hrs and got my upgrade from class B to class A.

    once I did the drive test and got my paper I went to the DMV they will try to take you don't let them go on your own and never return don't answer calls within a month you'll get all your paper work from them and the bill

    the point.. you can aquire endorsements from the get go if you take the tests. there isn't any specific training at that point.. its a knowledge test.

    Ya I'm confused about prime requiring you to have a Class A w/ tanks before you go to their training? How's that make sense
