    I just graduated from NETTS and I've been doing a lot of research on company's. It's anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months. Email the company's and ask. It also depends on your driving skills and the driver trainer. Good luck,

    I have 3 pre hires and I just graduated from NETTS. Even though we are newbs, don't just jump at the first offer. Do your homewrok and go online to email company's on new driver jobs. You won't believe how many will take new drivers.

    Never heard of any school letting you in before you pay. Go through unemployment and let them help you, if your out of work that is. Never heard of any place letting you pay later,,, but that's me..

    Just keep looking online. There are a lot of company's that take new drivers. and most of them only go back 3 years on driving records. Don't beat yourself up over it. Keep looking. Try Werner, Swift, JB HUNT, Schneider and others. Look online and they will tell you their driver qualifications and go from there, Send emails to recruiters too. Werner is a pretty good company to go with. No matter what you read or hear, your always gonna hear bad things about every company. That's part of the game in trucking or any other bizz for that matter. Good luck.:biggrin_255:
