I am begining the last leg of school training!

Well, tomorrow is the big GRADUATION day! The school is having a BBQ for the graduating students. Now if I get a nice low paying driving job all will be good!

 

I have my diplomas now in hand! It was a long and hard 10 weeks. My total cost of all training $0!. All expenses courtesy the Federal government and Job service!. (It was a price I could well afford)
my diploma has a PTDI seal on it. I don't know if it helps finding a job or not, But its a shiny seal anyway.

 

Well, the job hunt begins! I hope to get hired on with a starter company soon. I guess I can live with 20 cents a mile to get the experience I need to be a safe and effective driver. I will update when and if someone hires me.

 

Try Maverick students start at .36 per mile. It is flatbed work which is not for the lazy. Good Luck in your search.

 

congrats and good luck, i graduate from TDDS in ohio in 2 weeks and the turn signal gets me too.

 

I am getting a call from a Schneider representative today to do a application review. If all works out I guess they will set me up with a time to go to their training facility. I hope it goes well!. I dont know what they want to chat about but I will find out soon.

 

Please keep us updated.

 

Well, the time has arrived! I just got my notice that I am to report to Schneider headquarters in Green Bay to start company training. I have been trying for days to get them to commit. I don't know but I suspect that when I mentioned the fact that for the last 4 days my phone has been ringing off the hook by recruiters from other trucking companies trying to sign me up. I have received 9 offers for driving jobs this week. When I told the Schneider recruiter I suddenly got a date to show up! (imagine that). Anyway my wife and I are spending 2 days at a great spa in the Wisconsin Dells and I shall drive to Green Bay tomorrow night. I will let you all know how it works out

 

Goodluck hope it all works out for you.

 

That is a school for ya ! I never heard of a school that has that type of set up hear in baltimore,md its only two big trucking schools and u only pull 53' trailers in a sleeper through the city. But man with all that training you have already I would definately let companies know about it , you would be considered more valuable.
