Would like to get my CDL. Looking for a good company

I also considered swift.The way I understood the tuition plan was,for the first year or so they took a payment from each check to pay for the program.Then for the next year they would return your payment on each check.seemed like a pretty good program.My guess is that is what you read.So if you stay 2 years the program is 100 percent free.If you stay one year you just paid back the cost.Maybe they changed it but that's what I understood it to be.

Glad I could be of help.Hope you find a new home with swift or knight.

Oh, that is very interesting. I didn't read it as returning the money after the first year. But then the 2 year contract would make sense for "free" cdl school. I may have to go back and read that. I think they have a school in Memphis, and maybe one in Texas too. Thanks for clarifying that! Will revisit their website.

Starting on my path to a career in trucking!

Just wondering if running in a high wind area when empty,can you run with that thing open to cut down on wind presure.Or would the road wind just shred it while open .Thanks

Is Your Rig Safe At A Truck Stop?

Didn't someone steal a loaded tractor and trailer from the co yard a few weeks ago.If it happens there it could happen anywhere.
