In a bind what should i do

Yeah all i want to do like i said is get my foot in the door. I dont see how paying $5k-$6,500 for private schooling(even community colleges around here want $5,000) so why not go to swift and let them pay for it. Maybe i can call and ask them how it would work out cause ill be 23 feb. 7th.

 

You might try going through Driver Solutions. They recruit for USA and PAM mainly. You would probably go to C1 driving school in Fort Wayne, IN. You just have to contract to drive for one of the companies and you pay for a fraction of the training through payroll deduction over a year period.

 

I thought i read that driver solutions was a bad school. did you go there?

 

My teachers are third party testers for the state of TN. Some of the 3 week guys can't shift, (not enough time in the truck?) can't parallel park.

Driver Solutions if they will take you go for it. I think you have a guaranteed a job with USA or PAM.

Can't do our school unless you have been here a year. I know the lotto can pay approximately $600 of it.

 

hmmmm I was told by the school here in Phoenix that they've stopped reimbursing for tuition from other schools so I'd sure check that out before counting on it.

Also, yes Swift does hire from other schools, when I was in my orientation after schooling there were 3 people hired from a local school. There were about 60 from two classes of Swift Academy.

I'm also currently told by the recruiters that they're only taking AZ students at the phoenix school and only hiring from the academy currently.

Things do vary terminal to terminal and between academies.

 

Just stating my experience is all. They may have changed that policy but I was getting reimbursed every month 1st paycheck of every month the entire time I was with them until recently. I do know hiring was cut back significantly out east.

Not trying to recruit for em' by any means but I don't have a hatred for them and try to give the best info I can from my experience with them. They were fair with me most of the time. I just got tired of running the dirty side all the time so I'm going to go somewhere where that won't be an issue any longer lol.

 

the only other problem i have is transportation to and from that schools. It wasnt a problem until my tranny went out in my duramax pickup. So with no job i dont have the $1k to put into it.

 

looks like im out of the hiring area for Driver solutions

 

i got $ from ohio to go to school and i'll say it took FOREVER! keep tryin and something may come out

 

thanks its like the old saying if you want something bad enough it will come so im trying.
