    I was set on joining Millis transfer but they want $400 when I show up and I just don't have it.Ive done a lot of research and talking to people
    Ruled out (for various reasons) Pam,jim palmer,covenant,cr England,crst,stevens and prime

    Cant decide between kllm,swift and online transport

    I talked with the recruiter from swift,I just filled out the applications for kllm and online

    What do the pros think of these companies?
    Your input would be greatly appreciated

    What is the gross cost in total of that training? How often do they want this money?

    The reason Im asking is that in the past one federal student loan paid to the training facility took care of your foundational training into trucking much like a flight school makes fresh pilots for further finishing.

    These out flows of cash from you to trucking company without a implied or written contract that says you will be hired on and trained in finishing things to make a good basic driver out of you in 6 months time with a trainer. My students were given 12 weeks unless they proved a exceptional previous experience. I had a few students including my wife which was a high point but my main job was to identify weaknesses, fears, and so forth and break em so that they know what they are doing. Hopefully. If they do not break in then they are sent home for convience of employer because sometimes they turn out to be a danger in some way and part of our work is to remove and prevent dangerous souls from accessing a 18 wheeler solo.

    I don't know the exact numbers that Millis wanted
    The others that I'm debating is no money down and no holding money out of paycheck

    Do you have your Class A license, but just need training? If so, try Magnum LTD out of Fargo. (Hiring/training depends where you live, they don't go everywhere). Reefer freight, but they have a training program.

    Yes folks, you are reading that correctly, I am recommending Magnum...for training only. I have heard that they train you right.
