I already have my cdl, and about 130 hrs of driving training with werner, which I voluntary quit. (yesterday) i hope they dont put anything on my dac report bad about it. But what trucking school would you guys suggest for me, that will take me at 22 years old, and 120 hrs of training, I am guessing I would have to finish the rest there. I hope..I want knowledable trainers that can help me, and not scream in my face like at werner, with good dispatch or fair/decent. I know I am expecting alot, but its us that have to live out on the road, not them.
Any suggestions?
Swift/Werner/Schneider is out of the question.
I spent 3 weeks on a track got 120 hrs of training DRIViNG FORWARD with him doing all the trip planning and only straight line backing into truck stops. No 45 degree backs. I am deteremined to make it as a driver, I just need the right sources, anybody? Thanks in advance.

What made you guit? I know if you have a bad trainer you can request a new one.

He only referred to some problems about the trainer that he had a bad odor when he first got with him. Not sure if the trainer train him anything or not just he had a bad smell and he got yelled at by the trainer. Also claimed the trainer hit some parked trailers in a Drop Yard.

Now that his side of the story in a nut shell.
We can list companies after Companies. But will they be a good one or bad one will be up to you. Every Company different yet the same. Each has their different ways, and they have the same ways also. Weather you can make it a go at one is up to you. Not the DM, Trainer, or Payroll department, but it all on you to make it.
So to sum it up, we can list companies till we are blue in the face, but it is up to you where to go, and if you make it through the training and remain with the company. -
I appreciate the info I might look into schneider, my dad is a 20+ year trucker, who know drives for OST in baltimore maryland but there dispatch is here in smithton pa...he told me he started out with schneider and as far as home time they were pretty good with it.
Theres a few companys I looked at mine tellin me the qualities of such of some of the companys that seperate them from the others?
Schneider
Transport America
Maverick
Swift
Us Express
Etc.
Now since I have 120 hrs done already, would I be able to start there from any other company?
Let me know what you think my best option is, just give me some pointers/opinions. I appreciate your guys feedback, very much appreciated.
Everyone be safe out there! -
Good Luck -
Look in to Roehl; they run your way, regional, and are supposed to be pretty decent. Also TMC... I have heard good and bad about on here. And have been told there are some union jobs available in that area also...
Most likely your training with Werner will not be counted. You will be starting from scratch. Maybe not, but don't count on it.
Good luck. I am looking at companies out that way myself...

Of course that can have it downside too. Like being fresh out of school and being handed keys and directions to your first load with the words, "Good luck buddy you can do it."
