Are there companies that pay for your training ?

Pffffttt it's all nice.
Local beer,soda, and food will pay you while you train. I can personally speak for a few in central Florida but I imagine it's similar everywhere in the country.

 

I have 7 years exp.but have been off truck for 14 years will I be forced to run teams after training are can i run solo so my wife can come with me thanks for any info.

 

Do you still have a CDL?
Where is your location?
Several companies won't force teams and will let the wife ride after training.

 

I don't get to Florida very often, and I have never gotten stuck down there either. I am a company driver but running dry van.

The main reason I don't want to go there is it seems truck stops are too few and far between.

 

Having a company pay for training is a scary thing. If you dont like the company, you're stuck. Many companies will give you extra to pay back your student loan. There is a govt program, I dunno if you qualify, that pays for trucking school. There are grants. You can go thru a community college and they have grant and loan programs. It's better to get thru school on your own. We make pretty good money, so it's not hard to pay back a student loan. Especially if you live in your truck. Many companies allow a ride along, even with a team. Covenant is adding bunk nets to the top bunk, so 3 ppl could easily stay in a truck. Great company too.

 

These days have to shop around for truck parking space, but it's not as bad as most places. I always liked running Florida because it's flat and the weather is good.

 

For 3 months a year lol

 

Navajo will hook up a visa but I believe they require 2 years of service with them for the help.
