Profile For Samson

Samson, I know what you mean. I went through the Swift Academy several months ago. I've been solo for six weeks now. I took everything very seriously, some didn't. I am driving a Truck and they aren't! It has been the most challenging endeavor of my life, and I have had a few. (My second marriage comes to mind! LOL!) I continue to take this job seriously, and will continue to do so. In this short period of time I have begun to reap the financial rewards as well. I have earned close to $5000.00 to date. Not bad for a ROOKIE!. Keep up the good work!

Sounds like you are where I want to be :D

Hey that's great to hear!

So what's next on the agenda? Does PAM have a trainer lined up for you already or do you still have to make the trip to orientation?

I will be making the trip to orientation soon :D First day is the 15th, so I will probably get an email with my bus tickets and arrival time/terminal location today or tomorrow!

Hi folks! I went to C1 Truck Driving school in Indy, and it was the most challenging thing I have done yet! I just wanted to let everyone know how valuable Truckingtruth.com was to me for gathering information before, during, and after my experience in a truck driving school! I hope everyone has a great day!

Hi folks! I finally pulled the trigger and committed to this profession! When we are Doing our DOT physical, how extensive is the search for a hernia? Is it the old "turn and cough" method or just an abdominal push??? Sorry I am nervous about it and just wondered! I am Driving for P.A.M., and my trainign is in Indianapolis at C1 trucking school through Driver solutions! Thanks!

I chose Swift. No money down 0% financing. I had a Great experience at the Phoenix Academy.

What state you from? How long have you been driving since training? I am very interested in learning ANYTHING :D

Company-Sponsored Training Programs

When I click the link, it just shows a short paragraph on the definition of what you linked! Thanks for responding!

Thanks folks! I just got off the phone with Driver Solutions, with an opportunity to go to Indiana and get free schooling for a 1 year contract with P.A.M... Does anyone have any personal experience with Driver Solutions or P.A.M.? Thanks again!

Thanks! I will use that term and do a search, thanks!

Hi! Folks! I've been on this site several times and it is very useful. I was just wanting to talk to someone that started with no experience and is a successful driver now. I been calling several schools here in Ohio hoping to get some answers about how much it costs to get into a trucking school. I have very little money and even worse credit... Any know a Trucking school that pays everything upfront?
