Orlando female newbie looking for training company advice

Who did you speak to? That is kind of strange, you are close to their Georgia Terminal..However I understand because they don't have a ton of freight going in and it is difficult to get a backhaul. Go with Jim Palmer, Call and talk to Ellen she will get you squared away

 

That's partially true RE Prime, that is if you get a Light Weight Truck, just mention to them you are thinking about training or want to take family along with you and they will give you a FULL SIZE Truck so should be able to get regular fridge in there

 

Moeller Trucking out of central Florida does only FL-California reefer runs with teams. They say you need two years experience but they might make an exception. Also, Schneider would hire you for training in Atlanta. They have a yard in Orlando so that might work out well for you.

 

Thought the Great Pumpkin got out of training. I called them while back and recruiter told me they no longer offered schooling, but you could go to a school your self and once you got CDL they would hire you?

 

Yes, that's what I meant. She would have to get her CDL on her own then receive three weeks of training in Atlanta.

 

Cool I think she is looking for a company to provide both, why we suggested those companies..Thanks for clarifying though

 

Schneider only has one cdl school and it's in Gary, Indiana. You have to live in a narrow hiring area to qualify though.

 

OP, have you considered a WIA grant for CDL school? You don't want to be tied down to a company if you don't have to be.

 

Did you check with Roehl Transport? They don't have APU though; Jim Palmer and Prime do have APU.
