Does anyone have about CFI & Western Express

While I haven't spoke with recruiters for either company yet I was hoping to find out a little information first. I have looked at both of their websites and both have very little information. My questions are do you need money up front. Does either offer pay or advances while learning for your permit and cdl training

CDL Endorsements

Janet take great heed of the advise you have received here. The high road training program is very excellent. I can assure as a former driver the company is going to teach you so much more which will help build your confidence. The best advise I have to offer is when you go to orientation is to listen observe and follow directions. Just relax and have a good time with it. They no you have no experience and they will work with you to get you safe and secure.

How hard is to get back in the industry

2005-2017= 12 years. I believe your DAC only goes back 10. Or maybe that is HireRight. Rick???

Not sure how far Dac goes. But I will find out. Like a fool I didnt keep my cdl but its not the end of the world. So now my next intellegent question. As a former flatbedder where would be a good company to look at. I left Arrow before they abandoned all of their drivers.

You may be required to take refresher class, basically the same as your original class. Also sounds like you'll be riding with a road trainer again.

When you quit after two months, were you under a training contract?

It doesn't matter if other people had the same experience at any other rationalization. What matters is what's on your DAC. Words like "quit" or "terminated" are poison.

This shoots your app out to tons of companies. Maybe to have the chance to say "No thanks" to a company!

Thank you so much for your reply. DAC will show I quit. Employment I have had since does not report to Dac. I know I will have to start over from day one and I am good with that.

How hard is to get back in the industry

While the first time around was breif. I have grown a lot and prepared for the commitment thay driving requires. I entered the industry in 05 first as a O/O ltl hot shotter. Got my cdl and moved to the big trucks. First company trainer scared the daylights out of me and went home. Second company went through orientation went home for a week then out with a trainer for ten days. Got home and they didnt call again. I thought what did I do wrong. Came to find out they really dodnt have the worked that they talked about. I knew three other peope from my area and they experienced the same. Went to a third company after orientation went with a very good trainer and we rans the wheels off the truck. Ten days later came back to the home terminal tested out and was assigned a truck. Here is where I kind of screwed up. I wasn't getting good loads. The loads I did get were low pay. I. Left after two months. The up side is that company crashed and burned in disgrace. So now I understand I will have to pay my duess and am ready to do so. So where do I go from here.
