600 hour advanced truck driver training course.

If you're teaching new O/O's - you should know all of what needs to be covered. You're the one charging for the service. You should find someone with some experience to help you out if you want to push forward on this.

 

Why do I get the feeling that the OP just got too overwhelmed by the really serious questions?

 

A director of sorts??? Hmmm.... I used to know a Brian who was pretty nutty, I wonder if you could be him??

If I had to guess...I'd think it was more for a "Director of Sorts"

You should set up next to the lease purchase fleecing companies and for a fee show the prospective fleece purchase victims how little they'll make and how much they'll work for it.

Great idea. You can show them how not to smoke weed and how not to have sex with prostitutes... "Now guys, whatever you do, make sure that you blow the smoke out immediately after inhaling, here let me show you what I mean....sffffttttttt, hmph,hmph.hmph.... oops, wait, that wasn't correct, I actually held it in that time...here, let me show you all again..sssfffffttttttttttt......

How much is it if I just want to sit in and watch the show???

So, they're going to pay you for working for you....that's a great angle. It's diabolical.

Looks like they'll have a great teacher...lol...whatever they do, don't let em' quit. Just make sure they pay for these lessons and encourage them to work harder....It takes a lot of hard work and sacrifice to make it as a trucker. You've got a great idea, start em out right....

My thoughts exactly, I mean, look at you...you've got a great business plan.....

Mmhm, I see.... we need another 440 hours of schoolin'

Tell ya what, I'll open a school for guys like you, I'll call it the "Advanced school of con-artistry"....

It'll be a 600 hour long course on grifting. It'll be an online course, just send the $10,000 tuition check to trees, C/O the truckers report, and as soon as the check clears we'll get started....

 

ATS is far far far from the worst.

 

600 hours is a long time to keep anyone in school. Most students can't wait to get out on the road and start making money, they come to your school for a reason. Usually it's to better their lifes with the hope of getting a better job. A large percentage of them will be looking for something else when they find out what's really involved. Eating expensive meals or fast food,showering in truckstops (when you get a chance), smelling your trainers stinky feet,etc. What I'm trying to say basically is, how do you know if you want to be an owner-operator untill you get a taste of the business? I'm a licensed Illinois CDL instructor, an owner operator for 17 years,driving since 1980. I constantly sat my students down and drew up on the white board the differences between being an owner and company driver. I always had past students (not mine) drop in bragging how much money they were making with Prime or some other company as an owner. Taking a fresh grad and having him sign a lease. As soon as they mentioned $800.00 dollar a week payments, I couldn't wait to get them out ,sit my class down, head back to the white board and explain why he was full of crap . As much as you might be thinking of a new course to sell students, keep it cheap,hire an instructor that can teach the students the "real business" and let them figure it out for themselves. Oh, by the way, feel a little insulted that you bring up the "Drugs and Prostitute " stereotype. Sounds like you need to spend a little time on the road yourself. Nothing made me madder than the lady that owned our schools wanting to upsell and charge the students for everything. She was all about the money,I was all about the students.
