The other day, I called Trans Tech, a local truck driving school in Charlotte, NC. Their school tuition is $3000 and that is without on site room and board which I don't believe is available. They mentioned some companies sponsor through them and I would not have to pay anything up front and you know, you can work for the company on an agreed length of time and you could pay back a little more than $100 per month.
Then, I called Stevens to find out what they would charge me sponsoring me through Trans Tech. How about $5900! I can see tacking on some interest but they want to basically double the price for the student making me responsible for paying them back $2900 more than I would have paid out of pocket. I found that unbelievable especially considering that their own school is $4200. That told me all I needed to know about Stevens Transport.

I don't think you are capable of working in Interstate or Intrastate commerce on just a Learners Permit.

I didn’t pay a dime for my training in 2000 through Schneider. I signed a contract stating that I would remain employed with them for 365 days. I’m pretty sure they don’t do that anymore but with such a gargantuas driver shortage industry wide, I’m surprised they make people pay to work.
You dodged a bullet with Stevens BTW. If staying out a minimum of six weeks sounds appealing then they would probably work. The longest I’ve ever stayed out in 19 years was two weeks. Now I spend three nights a week in the truck and that’s plenty.brettw77777 and Lonesome Thank this. -

You can go to Sampson Community College in Clinton NC for around 500.00. I know people that drove 2 hours each way to attend.
