2 of the trainers are on this thread and a few of the people they trained
by all accounts Abilene is a great place to learn how to do your job correctly

 

If you have to do the six months, Stage one is 16cpm, stage 2 (second 3 months) is 20 cpm but either Johnboy or Master Yoda will chime in here unless they are both home for Christmas. I am an Abilene dropout so to speak. I didn't survive my "rookieness" there. You will get good miles so dont worry about the low cpm. Once you get your own truck it jumps to 33cpm and 43 cpm to the northeast ABOVE THE STATE OF VIRGINIA. Good folks over there.

 

To answer your question, unless you are a refresher, training is 3-6 months. You get paid for all miles run on the truck. Some of us are strictly first
stage trainers, some are second stage trainers, and others are refresher trainers. I am a second stage, sometimes, refresher most of the times trainer. You are not used as a second log book, if it comes to the attention of safety that you are, that trainer is out of the program. You are paid like everyone else, every two weeks. If you need anymore info, either follow the link Cranky posted or just ask here.

 

Cargo is another good one too D Bass guy. Seriously looking at them on my short list in 2015.

 

I can tell you that Abilene has a great training program, and freight to match almost anyone to their home anywhere... Some of the other Abilene drivers can vouch for my expertise in this field... I would recommend Abilene to anyone starting out. If you can build a strong relationship with your trainer, and driver manager, the community and family environment will ensure your success.

 

That's a long time to be team driving but I admire their ability to offer such training because it's surely needed these days it seems.
