    If anyone has gone to this school... how was the training?

    What kind of grants/scholarships are there if any?

    How was working/finding work afterwards?

    I didn't go there, but do have some knowledge about the school.
    You can finance the school and first payment isn't due until 45 days after graduation.
    You can go to work for a trucking company the day you graduate and you'll have a dozen or so companies to choose from
    We can give you names of companies if you want.

    Okay that makes more sense. And I would love that list! I think financing it makes it more expensive than paying for it upfront, but I’m glad it’s still an option.

    And thank you! I couldn’t figure out how they “got people to work” after training, since it was listed as a school and not a company that trains new drivers.

    Also... the day you go to work for one of those companies on the list... I would be trained and ready to drive on my own? No OTR, one on one training, with a person I don’t know?

    True, but a couple of companies only require a couple weeks with a trainer.
    Schneider and TransAm.
    Not sure if TransAm hires Arizona though.
    CFI is a good one for women drivers and this company will reimburse the tuition back to you.

    Any questions about Pride (Current employee in Road Services) and I used to drive for Andrus, out of St. George, Utah. I highly recommend both. I cannot speak for the others that @Chinatown has mentioned.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.
