New Guy needs some info

that whole deal cost them big

 

Wohha yeah deffinatlty not going that route

 

Payday, if I were you, I'd get my license on my own at an independent school and put it to work for an entry level company that way. If you go through the company to get you license they practically own you for the first year and you will be treated like an animal. Best thing to do is not enter a contract through a company if you can avoid it, get it on your own and you'll make more money starting out and you won't be obligated to stay with a crappy company for a year because of it!! Good luck!

 

Make that your license lol

 

Good advice.

 

Thank you lol, I was hoping I could offer some sound advice on here!!

 

I've been out of work for over a year... Would that be a problem for companies? Seriously, California sucks. Took me two months to get an interview to work at mcdonalds and then I waited thirty minutes for a 5 minute interview. I didn't get the job even though I lived 5 minutes away and be willing to do whatever it is I needed to do.

 

That I couldn't tell ya, I would call some recruiters and ask them about that. Anything we say would just be speculation on that case unless there's a recruiter in here watching

 

Man im glad you told me about the swift school in TN scam.

 

Not a problem... Unfortunately, those new to the industry or those with only a year or less experience who think they're good enough to teach don't have the knowledge of those of us who've been around the industry for many years.

Watching out for new guys so they don't get scammed is one way for us older drivers to pass on valuable knowledge and experience.
