Newbie - How to choose a good company?

you got your cdl and your going to school in may for a cdl?

 

I think he ment his permit.

 

I looked into going to a community college fro training but didn't think I was going to get what I needed from mine. How many hours is the course? Some companies won't hire except from "approved" schools. Have you thought of hiring on with a company that will train you? You will have to sign a contract with them or else be obligated to repay the tuition plus interest but overall I would bet you would get much better training. Just a few companies that I know who will train you are: Swift, Roehl, Stevens Transport, CR England, FFE. Check em out. Hope this helps. Peace

 

Where did this term "newbie" come from? It's rookie. Do you hear the football announcers saying,"LaMichael James, a newbie out of Oregon, is going to be in the NFL draft this year."? LOL

 

Newbe is a driver new to the industry just getting his license or permit, a rookie is a driver just released from his trainer and will hold the title for the 1st year.
