I am using a private school called TDI here near Louisville.

I decided to go to this school because a lot of local companies hire out of that school. I also only live 5 minutes from the school.

I honestly had the fear that if I used a company to get my to get my CDL that I could possibly get a bad trainer. I know this is rare but it is mostly a peace of mind thing with me.

Hey Michael C. I am going to TDI in Sellersburg also. When are you going to start? I have a tentative start date of May 2, and am going to see the school on Friday.

As a moving co. Driver you are required to load/ unload truck. Disassemble/ assemble furniture. Such as beds dressers etc. You will empty the house, then deliver to the new how and put the furniture where the home owners want it placed. If anything gets broke is on the driver. Some o/o's make over 200k a year-long this but it is bust a$$ work for the money. You also pay your helpers cash out of your pocket. The helpers can be written off at the end of the year.

I have been using Straight Talk,a pre-paid plan available at Walmart. Im currently on AT&T towers. They have a Bring your own Phone plan for $45.00 per month. Unlimited talk, text and 5 Gigs of data. You can use a Verizon phone and stay on Verizon towers. Cheaper than Verizon company plans.

I also use straight talk. On the Verizon network for only 50.00 (45.00+fees) 49.10 a month to be exact, and a lot cheaper than a Verizon phone plan.

Well, I personally am glad Oliver chimed in. After reading all these posts about how well everyone is doing at Roehl, I actually considered it myself. Thank you Oliver, obviously you are right and everyone else must be wrong. Whew, almost blew it.........

TMC loves vets

Well that's my dilemma, Errol I haven't eliminated Swift. Thay offer to pay half and let me pay my half in 13 months. Only have reefer otr 1 day home for 7 out min 3 week. Might change and I could take a regional after six months, if one is available. Freymiller offer same otr with more pay per mile. No pay for tuition. Schneider has dedicated regional for team. Offer sign on bonus and tuition for qualified. I get a lot of what is your zip and I'll see if were hiring in your area. Then we don't have anything now but when you get to school, or have your cdl check back. I need to live close to Dallas, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, within fifty miles of Muskogee. I may be checking during a slow time or otr may be where the positions are for my location. Plus plenty of flat bed! Been awhile since Prime and don't remember other than the LW truck. I believe temp control.

I get the same thing. "Call me when you get in school." But everything I see on this site says to contact them before you go. They want you to be in school with an approximate graduation date, which you really can and can't provide before school due to acceptance to the school. I am working with the school now on getting in, have a target start date, but not a definite start date. So, the graduation date is iffy at best right now.

My home terminal is in Iowa, and I live in Kentucky. With most companies it really doesn't matter as long as you live in their hiring area and they can reasonably accommodate your home time.

Hi sue, how do you like west side? They keep sending me emails and I like what I see so far. What is their home time.options? I also live in Kentucky. ( And you're right, the BBQ here sucks, unless I smoke my own....lol)

In 2007 I drove for Schwans delivering food door to door. It was not a cdl job but the company required the DOT physical. I was put on bp meds to pass the physical for my medical card. Because of being on bp meds, I only got a one year card. This is not new, they have been doing this for years. It's because they want to monitor you more closely to make sure you are under control. No big deal. My meds have Changed twice since then but I've been on the current meds for the past 2-3 years, so I have a history and am not sweating the physical. I'll just have to renew my card every year. My past experience is that the company will MAKE SURE that you have the opportunity to retake the physical when it is needed.

Kllm, Knight, Swift, Cr England also

Yes pi is public intoxication. I was completely honest to the exact questions they asked. A lot of them said 3 _ 5 years, some said ever, but I was honest. They didn't say it was my background. They just said "we decided to go with another applicant".
