I'll pm u my contact t info or Facebook before I go... nice to know at least someone my first day. I have been at my last job for 10 years. This feels like the first day of school lol

    If you don't want a roommate you will pay for both beds. You can take a car. If you leave out directly from school you can leave the carat the terminal. You will be given the opportunity to take a few days off before going out with a trainer. They can arrange for your trainer to pick you up somewhere other than the terminal.

    Thanks LB.. I might take the car then .. and possible try to get picked up at the house... Is there class on the weekends? Im 30 minutes from Nashville so its only 4 hrs each way .. I could always bring the car home after week two and get dropped off for the final week.

    Remember it's actually four weeks. After training is complete there is a three day orientation which you will go through with any experienced drivers if there are any at the time. Last day of orientation is your official hire date.

    Nashville is a good area to get picked up since we go through there often but it won't be at your house. Most likely you meet at a truck stop.

    No class on weekends. You will be free to go home after class on Friday and show back up Monday. Good thing is if you do it that way you are only going to owe for four nights hotel stay each week. Just make sure you check out on Friday mornings before heading to class and let them know you will be back on Monday afternoon.

    This is going to change soon, from what I heard it is going to change the student will get paid every week for how many days that week they drove. So they are at least getting a check every week as long as they are driving. Also it is changing to 15,000 miles driven by the student before being able to test out.

    You can request your own room, however you will be paying the whole bill for your room instead of splitting the cost, which is around 55 per day. You can bring your own car, the school will supply a van for the whole class to use to get back and forth with each day.
