Trucker hopeful

Try for the Hope Grant. If you can't get a private CDL school, see what Willis Shaw Express offers. They advertise a free tuition CDL program. Some of those mega-carriers look good, but in reality the money is not good for a family man. I understand Millis drivers make good money & I think you need $500 to sign on for their CDL program; worth checking though, check the website.

 

I think Roehl puts new hires on regional. Schneider puts some on dedicated accounts when they have openings. Personally, I wouldn't run regional or dedicated; can't stand the routine.

 

I know what you mean.Im on dedicated and its like its so routine and at times so boring.When companies hire for regional or dedicated, don't you have to live in those lanes for that position?

 

Does ppl make good money 7 on and 7 off?

 

Look at Ozark also. No NYC, no Canada, 100% no-touch freight. Don't know about the weekly pay though.

 

The companies that offer. 7 On 7 off also offer 14 on 7 off or 7 on 3 off. Which may be a better balance of home time and money. Most companies give you 2 days home after 14 days out or something likeep that. more money, but barely see your family.
