I don't get driver on driver hate.....

Its a balmy 18° here in NW Arkansas. Mornings like this is when I think about jumping right into trucking. Ill spend 9 hours on a construction site when I could spent the same 9 hours in a heated tractor listening to the BeeGee's.

You had me till the BEE GEES lol

Anyone think with all the laws changing next year in a already driver shortage industry that some of these company's will forgive drivers who left before there contract ended?

No to answer your first question and the only change that will cause some to leave the industry is the Eld which goes into effect 12/17. Being vague in you initial post caused the remarks.

G-Town nailed it perfectly..

As far as rider and pet policies each Carrier has their own policies. Which is typically once your in your own truck. Each carrier sets cost involved. Once you decide which way you are going to go IE company training or Private school or community or tech school. Then you need to do research on company that fit your wants and needs. Verify Polices regarding Riders and Pets

Waiting for updates Thank you

Not an issue

Yo Teach hows it going

It's not all about you - much as you'd like to make it so. And we can beat the dead horse about whether or not you came right out and said represented a trucking school - or whether it was pried out of you on our last go around. That's right - we did that on the last discussion.

Hmmm correct not about me but... you brought it up no reason for that was there...

Thanks for all the advice. I'll do some more research before I make my final decision.

I'm scheduled to enroll in Tampa Truck Driving School on 1/9 and have a prehire by Stevens Transport. Upon further review, I see that Stevens while a solid training company, offers lower than average training pay ($350/wk) and starting pay (26cpm). Although I know first year's pay isn't really what to focus on, I will be making a move at the end of the month from NYC to Tampa and going a year without decent income will effect me financially.

just so you are aware Training pay is $450 for three weeks then $500 and it starts at 30. cpm ..... Also Rick. S I didn't hide or keep it private that I worked for a school. Don't really get why you had such a long winded post about what Dominick asked.... well I kinda do know...
