Thanks Jopa I start at a trucking company that does in house training very excited and no tuition. I would also like to thank everyone for their great knowledge on this

Thanks for all the information I did call trucking companies that have in house training just waiting on a reply

thanks for the information I would have finished my schooling if I had a co signer but wasn't told that, me credit wasn't good enough either was my wife. I asked relatives and all said no. granted I haven't worked in a while. the schooling was great had a great teacher and the gentlemen that did the yard was cool they answered all my questions and no (b s ). and another thing money is tight and cant really go to far for training. I even had a retired trucker for a teacher cause the other guy was on vacation, he was telling people in the office that I was a good student and asked questions and not talk a lot like others. is it better to have hazmat and tanker indorcement.

I did apps on most got a call from some had a job with one until I did some background check, and believe you me no one needs to go thru that and be treated like that.

Gary, here's the truth and nothing but the truth. What ever you did for checking up on a trucking company was literally worthless. I'm not saying you did anything wrong, but just want you to know that the online reviews of trucking companies aren't worth a truck load of spit. I work for a company that has on-line reviews that would scare anyone to death, yet I have a great job, get great miles and am treated like a king. This industry is a performance based business - the performers are out here working - the whining underachieving malcontents are at home posting bogus reviews on-line. Why would you believe all that drivel that is on the internet when you know these trucking companies have got to have good and faithful employees out there getting 'er done or else they would have all been long since out of business by now. Have you ever just stopped and watched how many trucks are out there moving around on our great highway system? Do you really think all those drivers are miserable beat down slaves that hate their jobs? Come on man, you've got to ignore all that garbage, and if you really want to know what it's like to work for a certain trucking company then go to a truck stop and talk to a real person who really does work for a trucking company - they will be open and honest with you, unlike the cowards that post all that crap on trucking forums.

Now I realize that you may not have known any better, or where to look for some information, but it's kind of like that old song that said "looking for love in all the wrong places". Trust me we know how frustrating it is to actually get some valid information on a trucking job, but here's the key: look for things you can actually measure, like pay scales, or home-time, or what type of freight they run. Don't get yourself all caught up in that bogus premise that claims that some companies are good and others are evil - it leads nowhere. If you do your job well you will be rewarded well in this industry, I don't care whose name is on the doors of your truck. If you can't cut the mustard you will be kicked to the curb, it's that simple, the strong survive, and nobody will hold your hand out here. If you've got the independence and the will to make it in this business you will have a great career. It all depends on you.

Swift I believe has a school in Gary, Indiana.... I know theres one in Memphis TN......

I would go though the Company-Sponsored Training list and see if anything else peaks your interest... Don't limit yourself to one..

Prime, Knight, Swift, CR, FFE, etc.. They all do training and will either deduct from your pay per week or if you stay with them for a year they'll call it even...
