The lesser of all evils

Well no two people have the same experience at the same company. You will have to decide which training company suits your needs best......a lot of the negative feedback comes from drivers that had no clue as to what they were getting themselves into. Remember trucking is what you make of it, it can be a miserable experience or it can be a good one.

 

Don't know about Swift but my son is w/ werner since 1/3/11 and loving it. His trainers were both veterans w/ years of experience and he still talks to them. Werner reimburses you tuition $100 per month for every month you complete w/ them and if you complete your training w/ no persoal hometime you get a $500 bonus.Right now he's in a hotel in Ga. waiting for his first truck to be assigned to him,he should get it next week.I may sound like a recruiter for Werner but believe me I'm not,just glad that they gave my son a chance.Best of luck!

 

I'm alittle bit confused. We started about a month ago ( teamed up with my husband) and we didn't do any kind of training. After my husband got his CDL, he teamed up with another beginer and they started on the road. We are hired by a small company that colaborates with US express. The pay is not the best, but untill we figure out more about where we stand... It's a good deal.
What kind of trainig are you guys talking about? I've read it before, but I can't figure it out. We also didn't go to school for the CDL test. We had friends that helped us out( gave us their truck, came with us to exercise a.s.o.)
