Ready for the road!

You can hit the " thanks" button at the bottom right side of the posts if you want....it's easier than posting to say thanks to folks.

Good luck and keep us posted!
I like reading about peoples experiences starting out.

 

I appreciate a written thank you. It seems more genuine and you do not get a notification of a thank you button being clicked.

Nobody would mind a contract, if you are happy with it. But when you end up making $300 a week, or worse, sitting in one spot for weeks, that is when the contract is more like slavery.

If you can afford CDL school, many companies will reimburse the school tuition, over time. I found that KLLM had one of the fastest repayment plans.

A lot of school have financing too with a little down. I was lucky enough to be able to afford the tuition and will be hauling for Schneider soon. They reimburse $150 / month for 2 years. Most 'training' companies I've seen 'value' their training at $6000-$8000 and have a two year contract, so be very careful and understand what you are signing up for. My school was $3300 cash or $3800 if you financed.
