Interested in the career

I'm going to stick with somewhere that trains, I browse craigslist daily and I have not seen much in the line of farm work besides people fixing irrigation and fences or hiring people with CDL's to drive to Ontario.

I have one person whos going to type up a notorized letter for me so far about me doing work for them. I'll know monday if I have a second individual to type up another for me. If possible I would rather just go into the pool and learn from a company pass my tests and get put with a trainer and do my time then I can pick and choose where I go from there.

 

Am I reading Celadon correct in that you only make .18cents a mile after graduation...? Thats barely better than the standard temp job IF you average 2500 miles a week. Celadon is 100% off my list if thats all they pay unless thats just during your time with a trainer. Reading those other ones you posted for me thank you =)

 

I asked because heres the FAQ, its semi confusing but I'm assuming its only during training. because thats pathetically low for never being home.


What happens after I graduate from the Driver Training School?
After completing Quality Drivers training, you have guaranteed job placement at Celadon Trucking. You will join a driver trainer to complete 10,000 miles over the road. During this time, you will receive $0.18 per mile that you drive. After graduation from the Celadon trainer, you will complete 120,000 miles as a team or solo driver, which takes any where from 6 to 13 months.

 

Little update for Monday 10/19/2015.

Sent in an application to Swift. I just said I was unemployed and then put my recent work history and explained I was doing odd work mostly computer repair to get by. Swift has a training facility in Idaho I could easily drive to and has a Terminal within 10miles of my home or so I am told.

Contacted Con-way and have not heard back yet may just file an application here shortly.

Checked out KLLM and it was honestly my highest choice but when I went to fill out an application they only hire from Texas and Mississippi for the driving school program and I was really bummed as their facility looks top notch.

Celedon I am hanging on a back burner and even CRE yes I know CRE is horrible I havent even contacted them and dont plan to unless its a last resort.

MCT I am unsure of, on their map it shows my area in Idaho in there but they only have training in other states no where near me.

I am trying to get into a training program without having to go work somewhere else I hate for 6months to a year first so hopefully I can get on with one of these outfits.
