Wanting to become a driver

Some you can get a federal grant via Fafsa depending on institution. Certainly one out of a community college, and i know some "trucking schools" allegedly get this too. Also many trucking schools will finance, but its usually with the caveat you go with thier prefered Carrier. So buyer be ware.

 

That may be I had a cousin go through Truck America Training a couple years ago in Shepardsville, Ky. She swears by it went to work for super service after that. I just ain't sure I can get financing for school so looking at all my options.

 

That case, youd need to call any near you that you may attend. They will know thier financing options if any, it changes so much institution to institution, i don't wanna throw out any blanket statements.

 

Jim Palmer only allows pets/riders after 6 months of clean driving, IIRC. Good company, good training, IMO.

 

Alrighty I've got one for you. Called Jim Palmer and they require that I hold my regular license for 3 years. Which I have not. They also have a good pet policy 60 days after you finish training. I asked what if I had my cdl already they still want three years with regular license.

Called Prime and they test on automatics. So I let it go at that. I'm not interested in a automatic restriction.

Called CDL Training Services and Consultng in Elizabethtown, Ky. They offer a 160 hr course and it cost 4.5 grand in cash. They also offer financing through Us Exspress for 7 grand. Waiting on one of the schools recruiters to call me back now for some more questions.

So I get on us exspress website only thing I saw that interested me was pet policy. How bad is us exspress really cause I've never heard any good. Any ideas on who to call next. Yes I'm going to call us exspress.

 

Call CFI and ask if they train on stick shifts.
Pet policy they do have.

Called us they have train through the school I mentioned in Etown on automatics. Sounds like a good pet policy though 500 dollar deposit and pretty well immediately once you get your own truck. I'll give cfi a shout see what they say

 

500 dollar non refundable pet policy fee 1 pet per person. Apperantly a rider can also bring a pet. They test on manuals or automatics depending on which I would prefer. The lady I talked to is going to have a student recruiters contact me. About time I found one that claims to test on manuals. Sorry China didn't mean to make it sound like I found it. Calling company after company is beginning to be a chore.

 

CFI school student recruiter says they only test on automatics. DANG IT!
Talked to Truck America Training in Hillview, Ky miracle I reckon. All they test on is manuals. 160 hour school. Basically 4,400 dollars for the classes. They will finance the classes if I get 3 pre hires. They figure due to some of my complications it may be difficult to find a few pre hires but us xpress should be one they figure. So I figure it is time I admit a minor problem I should've mentioned, didn't think it would be a problem I have not currently held my license for one full year yet. I will have towards the end of January. Us Xpress only requires 6 months CFI doesn't care how long I've held it either. However due to automatic testing, they are a company I don't approve of. Truck America is emailing me a packet for their school for me to send in. I realize I'm not helping much by not having my license very long. Would prefer to start driving sooner than later that's the reason I'm trying not to wait a full year. And no my license wasn't suspended I was young and dumb and kept putting off getting it. Still am young and dumb just trying to make up for my mistakes.

 

You could save up a month expenses and the cost of a CDL school.
