    why did they say your date was pushed back? I will still be there when you get there, for a few days anyway.

    Let us know how it goes. I will be starting with Werner on March 12th. I would like to see how it compares to Swift. I thought about Stevens too, but heard too many bad reviews. I have my CDL though... went through a private school. Next on the agenda. 275 hours with a trainer.

    The school got pushed back because of lack of staff is what my recruiter said. I too pondered Stevens but Swift is just a better fit for where I live. I'm 130 miles from anywhere I've only seen 1 Stevens truck come through, Swift about everyday !

    Round2, how much money did your recruiter tell you to bring for Licensing. & physical and what not ? Not including food. I think mine told me I would need like $240 for it which seems kinda bs. I mean $3900 tuition and that don't include that ? Just don't sound right

    $3900 for class, $500 hotel but they told me any expenses beyond food would be covered. The week delay cost me living expenses and I am getting pretty low.

    Food is over rated!

    Cheer up! I paid $4995 for my school.. thought it was worth every penny, and Swift schools are supposed to be good too.
    Good luck to you too, Beardawg.
