Hi everyone! Please help me out!!

Put it on a credit card

 

I think Southern Refrigerated Transport is $3400.00 if you pay cash or free if you stay 12 months.

Millis you only need $500.00 to start classes.

Not sure about Mesilla Valley Transportation - their school website is m-v-t-i

 

Ok. best wishes; here one last shot:

I hope the MVT guys I once saw at a t.s. down around there had NOT been trained by MVTI! I think it was a father-son or brothers team, driving a ProStar, and it was dark. But the driver had decided to take a shortcut thru the parking lot, over a small dirt area, in order to pull into a space. Unfortunately, he did not notice the incline between the lot areas that necessitated a very tall curb on only this side of the dirt! At least not until he dropped the steers over the curb and they didn't land on the lot surface. LOL I think they landed on the oil pan, cuz after a repair truck finally extracted them, they were trailing oil thru the parking lot.

 

Almost all the over the road companies train, they recoup the expenses by paying you next to nothing for 6 months to a year. Advice from as real trucker, go back to school, your a need, you can make more entering code than you can driving.

 

Great idea. This way 3400 will only cost you 7500 by the time it's paid off.

 

EEOC can help you in your area to get school training then most large companies that do freight will help you with real training on the road.
US Xpress is better for training from what I have seen CR England makes you pay for Boot, lock ECT... that they have and charges are high.

 

Please stop spreading incorrect information. Or, in other terms, quit lying.

All schools "teach the test". All the companies know this. When you get out of school and sign with a company, you will be in the exact same position regardless of where you go... the three week company school, or the 13 week community college. That's why you're going to spend the next 2-3 months with a trainer.

Also... why would a company train you "as poorly as possible" before sticking you in one of their trucks? It's in their best interest to train you to the best of their ability. The independent schools *do* have a vested interest in pushing as many people through as cheaply as possible. After all, it's not THEIR truck the greenhorn will be driving.

I went to Swift Academy in Richmond, VA last summer. I recommend them highly. The first day, I signed two contracts. The first was with the school, agreeing to the services they were committed to provide. The second contract was a no-interest loan to cover the cost of the schooling. In that second contract was a clause that had Swift repaying me the cost of the loan, over and above the money I earn through driving, as long as I remained a company driver with Swift.

The staff was very up front with us, letting us know that we were under no obligation to drive for Swift. I was asked repeatedly throughout training if I was going to stay with Swift. I wasn't sure, since I had offers from two other companies, and the decision wasn't made until my last day at Academy.

Bottom line: There is NO obligation to drive for the sponsoring company. Think about it... if you were contractually obligated to work for a company for a year, that same company is obligated to provide employment for that year. No company is going to do that.
