do the driver schools make money off companies they "represent"?

I too went to Road Master and they had a few Werner surplus trucks and pushed Werner as a company to start with, then let a few other recruiters in to talk to us, Crete, Schneider, etc, but really pushed Werner. So I would say that it is a big yes...

 

My school had 3 recruiters come in at various times. All three companies were "decent" as far as OTR mega companies go, based on what I have read here.

 

Roadmaster in Columbus has 4 or 5 Werner trucks for training students. Not a coincidence.

 

I imagine schools do get a cut from companies.They're not going to represent them without some kind of cost.

 

simple answer yes.

 

And to add to this, as long as the student is getting the right training, who cares.

 

Schools are simply a way to satisfy a desk jockey insurance company requirement today. Schools only provide enough information to get the license, the real learning continues long after that.
