<p>[QUOTE="notarps4me, post: 187880, member: 5397"]A 7 day school might get you a cup of coffee somewhere, but that is about it. Most schools are at least a month. 150-160 hours. You will still need a trainer at your first company. I look at it this way; if I am going to get into trucking do I want to go the quickest and easiest way and probably bail in 6 months or less or do I plan to make this work and go into it better prepared? You get the wrong school and the wrong company and it is a recipe for failure. Odds are against new drivers as it is. Most bail quickly when they get a taste of it. I would go in with a little more edge in my corner.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
