Just got hired at Stevens, question on there trucks

I will be going to the Dallas school at the very beginning of 2012. Had a few questions real fast. How are there trucks? There website says they all have apu's, inverters, and mini fridges. Will I get to keep my company truck when I go home or will I always be in different trucks? Where do you put your truck when you go home or do you take it with you? I live in New Mexico, I don't think there is a stevens yard here. Also, there pet policy, is it no pets on company trucks? I keep forgetting to ask the lady about these questions when I call her... Can I pay more then the $26 a week towards the school? I wanna pay it off as fast as possible as I don't like being in debt...

1 more thing, my list of stuff to bring says to bring 4 family references and 2 non family references... Do I really need to... I don't really have 4 family members to get references from...... Thanks all for taking the time to answer my questions

 

Well, I live about 22 miles south of abq. So I'll have to leave my truck with a truck dealership while I'm in town. Hrm, dad and I are looking to move once my sisters turn 18 and get the hell out of the house. He wants to build a big metal building out in the middle of nowhere so he can work on his cars in peace... Well, I have to call Angie tomorrow and tell her I'm still comin.

 

Haha, ya. Los Lunas. The weather here sucks! I'm in a desert and its snowing more then in Ohio (my best friend lives there).

Well, I have a class A permit already so the testing stuff can't be THAT much harder. The tests out here were pretty easy. I'm wondering if I should just get my CDL out here though. I just sold a car (I have a few) so I have money as to when I made this and was looking into Stevens. But I think it would just be easier to go to the Stevens school and just pay them off as fast as possible as the courses seem to be the same length of time. Do they take any days off during the courses?

If I'm with the trainer on the road during the phase 1 and phase 2 training and he goes home, does that come out of my home time as well? Do I even accrue home time while training? Do they FORCE you to take a day off every so many weeks? Best friend and I wanna go to Seoul in April for a week, just wondering what the validity of that would be. How are the miles for a company driver?

Also, Smokr, love your sig quote. Its so true as sad as that may be =/

 

Well. I get on the bus in 4 hours. Got all my stuff packed. 20 hour bus ride here I come. I think its stupid how I'm going to Dallas, then I'm gonna be there for 4 hours before the bus drives 20 minutes to mesquite... What do I do when I get to mesquite? I can't find a shuttle number on my paperwork. Gotta leave my house in about 2 hours and 15 minutes. Freakin so bored waiting. I hope the Dallas greyhound terminal has decent wifi and charging stations so I can play WoW or something... OH, on the 36 month commitment thing. How EXACTLY does that work. I basically want to pay them off as FAST as possible. I sold one of my race cars, got money coming for it in about 3 weeks, plus income taxes. I am thinking about telling stevens to take most of the money out of my check so its just done with... I got an offer to work for another company making quite a bit more money BUT I need my full class A CDL. From what I read the school is 3200-3900 for 3 years. If you leave before the 3 years its 5900... Or is that only if you leave and still owe money? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did I mention I'm getting bored of waiting on this darn bus -_-
