So my backing range instructor apologized to me...
Give me a import any day you all can keep the fords and Chevy's all you want... My honda had over 250,000 miles and ran like a champ with no major engine work... Can't say that for fords and gm
198000 on my Ford Ranger and I have put that truck through some hell. No major issues other than I finally had to replace the cap over plug. Not so bad considering it was factory. Basic maintenance goes a long way no matter what you drive.

Question about "free" training
Oh and thanks for the quick replies. Brett I had thought that may be the motivating factor in a lot of negative reviews to be honest. I have looked over most of the site for several days now.

Question about "free" training
Well I normally catch on very quick to whatever I am trying to learn. The only reason I am leaning to company paid training is because I just want to start it now. Yeah I know sometimes it's best to wait but and the program at this school is partnered with a local company that hires a lot of the students. It's either them or Prime as far as I can see though I have looked at some companies that offer reimbursement so that is another option. I just hate to wait for another year. Plus the college here only does two classes per year. One in January and one in May.

Question about "free" training
Now I know that nothing is ever really free. You get paid worse and you normally have to sign a contract with the company that trains you. However I have wanted to be a driver for a long time and I mean since I was very young. I just never put any effort into it until recently. Locally I have one community college that trains for CDL but it is 4k for it and I can't get that kind of money for at least a year at the rate I make minus bills etc with my current job. So here is my question is it worth it to just go to one of these companies and get a foot in the door then start looking for something better? Or should I just buck up and wait? If anyone has ever or currently does work for a company like this that I can make decent money at please help and point me in the right direction. I get so many conflicting stories but short term hardship would be worth it to me to do something I have wanted for as long as I can remember.

Jay just curious at those rates it would seem low pay though since I haven't looked at team driving I don't quite understand the pay scale. Curious about what you would typically earn per week? I am assuming since you are a team it would be comparable to solo driving seeing as you would do double the miles?
