Profile For Kevin K.

Is that 500 before or after taxes? Sounds like it may be a good fit if I can save up enough money to cushion us while I’m gone until I get my first check.

Perhaps consider Roehl. Last i looked into it, about 8 months ago, Roehl paid $500 during school. they are a good company with varying hometime options. But remember the more hometime, the less you make annually.

Be aware, even with them, it might take 3 weeks to get your first check. one driver here was upset over this, but if they pay every two weeks and hold a week, they are no different than any employer who does the same.

CDL school is difficult. How would you feel working all day, backing all ninght and being too exhausted to learn? wasted time and money.at company sponsored you are immersed into trucking and can concentrate on learning.

I think I may have a unique situation. Right now the way my life is set up is this: I am the sole provider for myself, my fiancé, and my daughter. I work a production type job where I get paid by the piece from 7am-5pm M-F, which would give me the option to go to trucking school such as Roadmaster which offers evening classes from 6pm-midnight. I do have the option to cut my work hours back some, come in later and leave earlier. I’m just worried that I’m not gonna get the sleep I need and either miss work or miss school. On the other hand, I’m not sure I could do company paid training either since most companies don’t pay while your getting your CDL which takes 3-4 weeks usually. I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place and need some advice on the best way to proceed. I’m sure there have been people in this same or similar position and would love to hear how they handled it. Thanks in advance!
