Stevens Transport aviary

After your two months of training driving you can do a 45 day trial lease that you can walk away from immediately, and after trying that you can walk into a lease. You have to be pre-approved to lease though, and don't ask me what those requirements are, I have no idea.
That's if you have driving experience. If you don't, then you have to do I believe six months solo before any lease is possible.
Recruiters should know for sure. You can also call them and ask to talk to an Alliance rep. They are the lease division and their offices are in the same building as the recruiters and the school.

 

One other interesting development today.
Our class was set for graduation and to be assigned training drivers at 4pm today as per our class schedule revised early last week.
So, at 3:50 we were congratulated by our instructor and all that and taken downstairs to the guy who assigns you your trainer driver who you will be leaving out with on Saturday morning.
He had left early.
No one was assigned their driver trainer or had any idea when they would be heading out or who with.
We were told to come back Saturday morning to find out.
Except me. I was told to come back Saturday morning to check in then come back to the hotel to wait until Monday morning so I could go back and check in again and start calling around back home to have someone fax back some kind of paperwork that might make some buy in Safety happy that I was taking care of my invalid, death-bedded mother.
Frankly, the more I think about it as I sit here on Christmas Eve a thousand miles from home and family, the more insulted I become.

 

It's bizzare, but they can do it. No law says they have to reveal all their hiring criteria to a prospective employee. That's insane and a law should be created to protect folks, but none exists for now.
All I have to do is probably call my second choice company, Werner, who allows pets, and let them know what's happened and I'm willing to bet they will ship me out to their location and probably road test me and maybe put me on a training truck earning some money. They would probably pay my tuition from Stevens schooling. Hopefully they wouldn't put me through their schooling, as I am growing short on funds rapidly and another three weeks of schooling would bankrupt me.
Right now I"m happy I have my CDL and some awesome training and it's Christmas Eve and I'm in a new state and city for a change, got plenty to eat, drink, cable TV, a warm bed, clean clothes, wifi internet, my laptop and my mobile phone so I'm in touch with family.
Merry Christmas all!

 

Then the Alliance guy lied to the four of us sitting in the lounge outside his office on Tuesday during lunch. He said if you lease you can have your pet on your leased truck.
