    Just a big come on to snatch government money . CDL mills don't support veterans . Veterans support them . Schools are well aware 90% of their students won't last a year in the industry . Veterans deserve a better choice of career .
    What's next - a trailer with a cross and Jesus on it to attract Christian drivers or would that turn off too many Muslim prospects ?

    My students do very well. Currently teaching some very proud and happy veterans now.

    I'm not talking placement . I'm talking job retention . Have you ever done a survey to see how man students still have jobs after a year ?What is the turnover of the carriers sending recruiters to your school ?
    I have never disputed the quality of training at most schools . I have faulted schools for not advising potential students of how criminal records and violations on MMVR's can make hiring next to impossible .
    As much income as schools make they still pass everyone rather than being honest and admitting some students obviously lack the skill and given a refund rather than a certificate .

    All of my students go to the DMV. We do dl170 but my guys are DMV only. I keep in touch with almost all of my students via Facebook or whatever. Yes some do choose other careers late but alot stick with it and do very well. That's how it is with any career. Most of my graduates are driving therown rigs or making 16-21 bucks an hour driving locally. Otr graduates start between 22-24 cents a mile starting out and pay goes uP the longer you stay with whatever company that is. I would say roughly more than 75 percent stay with this job

    If 75 percent stayed with it your placement rate would go way down because new drivers wouldn't be needed . Very few new jobs are being created . I have seen many , many posts in these forums saying half the drivers get rejected at orientation , more by trainers , and others saying a carrier has to hire 10 drivers to get 1 good one . Their posts are far more credible

    If they are rejected they come back for another week of training at my school. This happens very rarely.

    Good looking truck!

    Just hypothesising here... But I would think Vets would excel in trucking. Accustomed to long periods away from home, and the fortitude to stick it out through the rough patches.
