Strongly considering them as I live near Denver. Any good or bad stories or advice regarding them would be much appreciated!

Thanks for the advice, Pete. I'm sure they'll go over it exhaustively, just wanted a bit of a head start so I hit the ground running. I've got some extra sheets from another student who was with them before, thought I'd put them to use.lol Appreciate ya, thank you.

I'll be logging that trip, chaos, thank you for taking the time!

You can tell I'm a newb when the last thing I want to do is sit in this hotel all weekend. Would rather be out there getting my feet wet!

Yeah, Google is pretty hit or miss -- mainly miss.

I understand much of each trip will be set out for me, where I'll be required to fuel and when and whatnot, but I want to be able to incorporate this into my daily logs so I have a comprehensive understanding of how to not only make sense of the hours I have to work with (where to take my 30, say) but to maximize my hours on a daily basis for more miles and loads in the long run.

Hey guys,

I'm heading into my second week of training at a school outsourced by the large carrier that accepted me. We planned only 1 trip in class, the minimum required, and I did well, but I want to get more practice in before I head to my company's orientation in two weeks. We're pre-tripping and in the truck here on out.

My question is, do you know of anywhere on the web I can find example loads as set by a major carrier, with their expected fuel stops, load/unload appointments, etc? I can make up some trip, but I don't know if it even would be realistic or not because I only have the one example in class to go from, and they kept all the materials after we tested out on it, so here I am.

TIA!

Appreciate the advice, Patrick. Thank you. It made me pretty wary, I must say. Think I'll pass.

Permit holder looking into Celadon CDL training. Found a couple recent articles about them having financial issues. Should this concern me or does this happen often in the industry?

Great info icecold, I will get on it. Had a feeling it would be like that; a matter of narrowing it down. Thank you so much brother!

Really appreciate it, Big Scott. Does help, thank you!!

Hey guys,

I'm am looking to enter company-sponsored CDL training the beginning of August. In the meantime I'm studying hard for all the endorsements as well as the pre-trip inspection, and have everything pretty much down.

I am waiting for my passport application to be approved, which should be in the next week or two (around the beginning of July). Once I get my birth certificate back from them I will be able to go get my DOT physical and background check for Hazmat rolling.

My question is, how far ahead do I need to begin the application process if my target date is the beginning of August (5-6 weeks away)? Does it vary widely by company or is there a basic ballpark average?

Thanks in advance!
