    Since when do they not have a contract? I thought it was a year contract to forgive the school debt. I know it’s $100 to hold a seat then $400 first day for the school.

    Also look into RE West. They are no contract/no commitment, paid training. They just ask that if you don’t stay 6 months that you pay back $85 for the physical and any sign on bonus. @Chinatown and myself started a thread on them. I’ll post the links below.

    You pay them for the school weekly once you are hired and with your trainer. You sign an agreement that you will pay it I do believe and if you leave before it’s paid then you just owe them the remaing balance is my understanding. I haven’t gone through it yet as I am scheduled for March.

    I'd double check, I believe there is still a 1 year contract involved.

    Call it a contract, call it whatever you want. You pay $100 to hold your seat in a class and then $400 the 1st day of class. While in class there is no pay, but the hotel provides a free breakfast and Millis provides lunch. While there you will sign papers stating the schooling/hotels/training cost a certain amount and when you are with your trainer they will start deducting $100 a week to pay for this. Once on your own they lower it down to like $30 a paycheck deducted each week. They will take that out for a yr. After the year you are free and clear, but if you leave before your year is up then yes you will owe them the remaining amount of $ you agreed to pay.

    While with a trainer you're making .43cpm for all miles the truck is dispatched on. Doesnt matter if the trainer is driving or the student. Truck dispatched on 3600miles and your drove 2500 that week, you still get .43cpm x 3600.
