    You will have 100's of companies to choose from if you go community college route. A few companies even reimburse you the CDL school tuition.

    I am feeling nice tonight. If you get the feel of a truck in 6 years, your lucky. Snow, Ice, Fog, is just the start. A school is just that. A place to start. The real road is different. No mistakes allowed. Your great, or your dead. A cliff don't care. This is a high risk job. It demands 100% all the time.
    Only about 86% of truckers make it to retirement. Some Quit. some die. Some give all they have to give. The rest feed. clothe us, and make our life great. If your a Trucker, Your already a Hero.

    The bottom feeders with their company training programs just have that set up as a "profit center". Run full classes every week, put you in a truck knowing you will not last 3- 6 months, then bill you for the remainder of your training costs. Repeat.
    I would ask, what is the average length of stay for all their new hires they train. You know they have that info, but probably will not give it to you.

    14% or 86%? 86 is pretty darn good.

    That's an awesome deal. Why sign up for any company training when you can have freedom? Plus just about all carriers have some type of tuition re-imbursment.
