What's your take on PAM? And hiring info

I just wanted to get some of you guys input on PAM. I am looking to start my CDL class July 9 in Ft Worth IN. My application has not been processed yet, but I am worried about my past bitting me in the rear. I have had 5 jobs since 2009 and my driving record is so so I am not sure what's on there but if they go back 10 years I'm screwed but if the go back 3 to 5 years it's so so. I know in the last 2 years it's been good and I don't have any accidents on my record and I have never been suspended for points and no DUI's.

So, my question to you guys is do u know how strict PAM is about my past?

Do you guys even know if PAM is a good starting school?

I read that after school PAM is only paying 17 1/2 CPM is that true?

I was also told as a driver I will only be able to do 3500 miles a week as a solo driver?

And what's the big fuss about Team Driving I know it's different strokes for different folks but how bad can team driving be I mean you both get paid for the full miles. I know I don't mind having somebody to team with for few months my first time out.

Ohh and I forgot to mention I just got off probation for obstructing justice and I just found out Friday that I have a current warrant out for my arrests but it's over some BS and I do plan to get it taken care of ASAP but I'm pretty sure they are going to throw me on unsupervised probation AGAIN....

Any info about PAM and my situation I would very much appreciate it...

Thanks

Thanks for that info Timd1978 I knew starting out was going to be tough but 17 1/2 CPM and only allowed 3k miles a week is pretty low that's like $500 a week.

 

Thanks, I was going to call Prime Monday and I will look into WEL also. The thing is Trucker I am a POS rookie who needs to get sponsored lol

 

Thats would be f*#ked up I would rather have them say no from jump street then to have me get to school then say no. Now if that did happen do u know if I would have to pay the money for the classes back? It's not a breach on my end so I don't think I should.
