My recruiters name was Amanda Wilmoth. The school I was sent to had 8-12 students while I was there.

Thank you very much for the info

Do you have particular reasons to sign with a company that charges you 5 Benjamins for school? Many companies offer Paid CDL Training Programs.

As for the decline status, like Sue said, that may be so the company can keep its records straight, as in "no reason to bug you for now." And remember, if you ask later, the worst that could happen is they say "No."

I chose that one at first because it had the very small class sizes

I am driving for XPO, in training right now, and I'm happy with my choice. If you have your permit, they won't ask you for a cent in up front fees. They also make sure you eat while you're in school. They also don't take anything out of your check to repay for school, nor do they pay you less than someone who paid for their school. In other words, you do your year, which you should any way, school is free.

Thank you for that info very helpful I'm not a spring chicken anymore so I need to find a company that I can stay with and get a retirement (in about 20+ years) So the company I decide on has to be the one 2 questions

Who was your recruiter? How many people in your class?

I do have my permit and physical

With Millis I had to pay $100 upfront (which I did) and would have to pay $400 total when I got there,this was a special deal $100 off of upfront fees towards the schooling (they take the rest out of my check) The deal ends 8/23 which is why I need the extra money

All the companies have something I like and something I don't which is why I'm having a tough time deciding

Id like smaller classes so I can get more behind the wheel practice time

I thought I was going to Millis for the training,but 2 weeks ago I lost my father to a stroke (almost 3 months to the day I lost my brother in a car wreck) I informed Millis that I wasn't ready and needed to delay things (I told them about my dad) She told me I can reschedule but would cost me $200 more dollars in upfront fees.I even offered to send a copy of his obituary Ive kept in contact with Swift,I told them and they changed my status to declined in the driver pulse app so they're out (I didn't decline anything so I'm assuming they changed their minds for whatever reason) I've done new applications

XPO logistics-I've been approved already KLLM-I just did the application today 8-13 Online transport/frontier transport-same ass KLLM

What do the pros think of these companies? I'd be looking to start probably in the middle of September as I need time to deal with things

Thank you in advance

Thanks for the info on Millis They're doing my criminal record check now (completely clean) so I'll be starting 8/22 I really like the smaller class sizes plus Peggi is very nice

Absolutely correct!! The training program on this site is top notch and helped me ace my tests last week Extremely grateful

Well, I studied for about two weeks primarily with TruckingTruth.com. I made it through the entire High Road course (up to the log book section) in a week and averaged a score of 94%.

This program utilizes a very effective memorization technique known as stacking. You memorize the general knowledge section and then go on to the next section. While memorizing the second section you're taking quizzes on the previous section along with quizzes on the new section, thus stacking new information you're memorizing onto information you've already memorized. Before you know it, you come to the end of the course and have memorized all the information for general knowledge and all endorsements.

I passed general knowledge and hazmat, combination, doubles and triples, and tanker endorsements on my first take of these tests, with a screaming toddler in the room (I already have air brake, passenger, and school bus).

The one DMV employee said to me, "You've been studying, haven't you?" I said yes. He said, "Yes, I can tell."

I say all this to make a point. TruckingTruth has comment after comment listed on this site from people who have used the High Road CDL program proclaiming how effective the course is and that they, too, got high test scores and have heard comments just like I heard at the DMV that day. The High Road is very effective, and it's absolutely true as listed about this program. I highly recommend it.

Use this site to study for your permit That's what I did.I took my tests Friday and got a 98,96 and a 100 I'm very grateful for all of the study guides that helped me so much

Thanks. I'm funny sometimes and also corny. That worked out great for you that the shipper was so close. I see Millis trucks all the time in Charlotte.

Do you live right in charlotte? I live in Concord NC and starting for Millis in August

I really want to thank the op for all this info I'm about to start cdl training and have it down to Swift and Pam,this particular school is about 30 miles away so if I take Pam I wont have to worry about the hotel or bedbugs
