How much did you pay for your CDL training?

havent started yet but the school im going with is 3,495$ southwest truckdriver training ill let ya know how it goes

 

Gunville Trucking has their own little school and if you complete that they have you sign a contract to work for them for one year, otherwise you owe them 3500 dollars so I guess to answer your question I paid nothing.

 

Sounds to me like it cost you a year.

 

well if it meant that I had a job for a year plus getting a years experience I really didn't see it as a losing situation. yeah it sucked and I didn't have alot of room to negotiate what I hauled, but once that year was up I was able to move to a different route and more money.

 

Then it worked out good for you. Some have ended up in another line of work with a contract to pay off by being chained to an ate up company. I wasn't cracking on you, just thought of it as didn't cost me nothing, but had to stay a year. To me a year is something.

 

I didn't think you were, I am feircly loyal to my company because of the situation I was in when they hired me, basically I couldn't get a job because of my national guard status, they took me in and basically allowed me to write my own ticket, started out washing their trucks then went to start training as a trailer mechanic and finally got my CDL while working nights in their trailer shop.
