    AFTER MONTHS HAHA, Im literaly about to walk out the door to do my cdl permit at the DMV and ive been studying like crazy on the "CDL Prep" app and have been able to 100% all 270 some questions for general knowledge, 100% all 70 some questions for airbrakes and about 98% for combination vehicles... i got my doctors appointment today to get my blood pressure medicine. and then hopefully i get that sweet call that i need form road master saying that my loan has been approved... my credit hs fairly good (low 700range) so id like to think i can be approved for the loan. if all goes well ill be starting school at road master in Orlando Florida on the 20th during their 8 week weekend program! cant wait!

    Roadmaster is owned by Werner, so you'll get lots of pressure to hire on with Werner and especially the Dollar General Account. Don't fall for it. They will also push Schneider and US Express.
    Comcar has 4 divisions and reimburses tuition up to $6,000.00
    Plenty other companies to choose from also.

    I really wanna just get something with no touch freight and I’d be happy tbh. And I really wanna be more broad on my travels. I don’t wanna be set on a small route here in the southeast. Any recommendations?

    Aside from the dollar account, I thought Werner was a good reputable company? The 40 cent a mile sounded good for a start.

    Go to mid Florida tech instead. You get govt. Assistance most of the time to pay for tuition and its half what you will pay at Roadmaster.

    Here's recommendations from your other thread; you'll run the roads with these:
    Freymiller -
    www.drive4freymiller.com -Click on "Restore Program" for new cdl grads.
    Contract Freighters - www.cfidrive.com
    Schneider - tanker division is big money; take home over a thousand a week.
    Plus:

    Abilene Motor Express
    Melton Truck Lines
    Shaffer Trucking
    FFE (Frozen Food Express) - terminals in Winterhaven & Miami.

    Don't pay much attention to cent-per-mile because that doesn't mean much unless you're getting a lot of miles every week plus good accessorial pays. I'd shop around a lot before making a final decision. Submit lots of applications the first day or week of school, then look over the job offers and pick the one you like best.
     
    Snowshoes Thanks this.

    Thanks! Just passed my general knowledge and air brakes and combination test first try with only 4 total questions wrong. I am so excited right now. Also I have considered misnflorida yeh but I’m unsure if their classes will work with my schedule. Roadmaster has the weekend course that works perfectly for me

    Roadmaster has the weekend course that works really well for me. If mid Florida each has that option too I can look into it
