BTC Flat

and plus 300 bucks a week to train isnt bad, it's not great for sure but you figure if someone is gonna be switching careers or whatever they will have a little bit of money saved up or be ready for a transition, looks like this company knows your time is valuable. i like it!

 

thats the guy i emailed. are you training with them right now?

 

I start on the 31st of January.

 

nice! keep in touch with me on the PM about how it goes, if i dont hear back from this guy i'm gonna be giving him a call for sure.

 

Will do.

 

says their primary runs are mid and south west. i wonder if that'd be a problem since i live in massachusetts if they would even wanna talk to me. guess we'll find out!

 

OMD,

Yes, you just need to attend a 160 hr approved school, get your CDL and then they will train you over the road. I see they have a bunch of schools up there in your area, talking guys on here, they seem to run about $4000 - $5000. Good luck, let us know how it works out.

 

well i'll call the recruiter and ask them what their policy is. where you get that info from?

 

All the companies do that......unless they have their own school like Central Fridge or Prime, and then they make you sign a contact to pay them back for the schooling, if you dont work for them for aleast 12-18 months (which is pretty standard) then if you quit or get fired they just send you the bill for schooling......on several easy monthly payments.

P.S. There are 2 trainings you attend to be a class A driver, one is school to get your CDL A and the other is Over The Road Training, once you have been to several hours of training at a school...... What BTC is offering is OTR training only, once you have been to school. Not many companies have their own school anymore.
