Got my CDL in late June 2011, but.....

based on what ive seen on here, watkins and shepard doesnt put you with a trainer, and based on the reviews they seem like a great company

 

I would likely have to do a two week "refresher course" at the school before going back out again. That is what a couple of other students I was training with were doing, as they had a gap between getting their CDL and going with the trainer.

 

get a refresher and keep trying to find local stuff. i may be getting lucky out here and found a company that will take me on bc they take students from my school. working up to 70 hours a week in a daycab but hell after my shift i can drive the hour home and sleep in my bed with my lady. try beverage and beer places.
