Which of these companies to chose for paid cdl training and contract????

Hello Kit,

I will take your advice and put swift back on the list. I have to because all of the companies catch bad raps from someone. Honesty is always a top priority. I would like if you give me your recruiter's info seeing that you are giving a good recommendation. You wouldn't believe some of the recruiter's I have talked to. I'm not going to mention any company or certain recruiter names, but I was like how did this person get a job recruiting lol. A recruiter should have good communication skills and not talk like they have no idea whats going on. A lot of ummm, let me see, duhhh, I have no idea what I'm doing. I had to do most of the talking. I started to ask if I could reply to be a recruiter honestly if that was all the certain companies had to offer. It was like talking to pot heads. Pot heads are cool, but slow and confused lol. Especially if they are smoking the high grade good stuff. Anyway, thanks and send me that recruiter contact info. I actually like the fact that you have knowledge of Swift and been there still there. You are right. All that matters is honesty, good training, and a for sure job in the end. I actually think that all the schools that offer this type of contract are basically the same in the long run. as far as importance to a company to me, I would have to say honesty, great equipment, low student to instructor training, professional on all levels, pay, and miles. I'm single so really don't care about home time. TTYL

 

I just got off the phone with Roehl and they are in Marshfield, Wisconsin. They didn't mention anything about Texas. They did say that it is going to cost $400 for lodge while training. I lost interest when I heard that. I'm not sure if she said $400 a week for three weeks or just $400. Either way that is out the window. May be a great company, but it is far from Louisiana and paying for lodge is just crazy. I'll take the so called bad companies with free lodge any day. I do know that Roehl hires through Diesel Driving Academy here in Louisiana, but that is $5000 dollars cash up front for the four week program. They have a program that is 20 weeks long and financial aid helps, but 20 weeks and cost more than the four week class. Just not worth it.
