Making Ends Meet - Company Sponsored Training

Wish you'd have been on this forum earlier. There are companies that pay students hourly or weekly pay until they go on drivers pay.
Will the company you're with give you pay advances? Pay advances aren't recommended, but if you need food money, may have to do that.

 

Borrow money from someone or buy your food during training on a credit card.

 

As Chinatown mentioned, there is so many companies out there that offer pay while you go thru training. Is it too late to look into another company to obtain your CDL that offers pay while you train?

 

SRJ who are you driving with now? I know you went with j bauer before? Still there?

 

You need to find another company.asap. What company is this? Is there a reason you chose them? Something to prevent you from getting hired somewhere better? So so many other companies will pay you for training..

 

Yes and I’m coming up on my 1 year anniversary on January 20, 2021.

 

Motel will have breakfast.
Company will provide lunch.
Ramen for dinner.
What do you spend your money on now?
Do you buy any fast food?
Smoke?
There is always something you can cut out.

 

Don’t most of the megas offer paid training? It isn’t much, BUT it’s money rolling in. Like $300-400/week or something. I’d rather have that than absolutely nothing.

 

As far as I know most pay something. I think Prime gives pay advances of $200 weekly during school. Don't know what the pay is when the student hits the road with a trainer.
