Profile For Jason B.

I dont mean to hijack the post but i watch your videos you make alot of great points you have talked me into staying a year with the compNy im getting my cdl through i was only give them 3 months and go to Another job flatbed even though the company has a no content contract

I recommend company training and did a video about it. Check out my playlists for "Considering a CDL?" And there is a ton of info on training and things to think about before you attend school.

The TRUTH about CDL Schools

Well as some of you may know that read some of my post not able to land a school With a wreck on my dmv got turned down by many schools well today i got a email saying i was accepted in do The driving school after a week of going back and forth emails submitting crash reports i will start with swift soon as my hard copy of permit comes in.. i hope most things i read about swift and know are all false..

I was able to get that ticket throw out of court and paid court cost

Did you have any insurance on any vehicle in your name? In my state I have 30 days to report a new vehicle. If you bought a vehicle without insurance the ticket is yours. My state wouldn't allow you to sign the title if you aren't insured.

Can you ask for court supervision or is it too late?

Well i have been turn down by 2 Companies for CDL training i found Out why to do really Dont know what to do in 07-27-2019 i was in a head on collision was not at fault or charged with the wreck i walked away with a 450$ ticket for no insurance i bought the truck 5 days prior to the wreck was going to get it the day of the wreck matter fact it happen on the way to the insurance place i dont understand how they are holding this against me when i was not at fault im getting really aggravated with it idk what to do

How is it going i start in sept

For the last 2+ years I've held my Class B CDL with P&S endorsements. Lost my job training school bus drivers due to Covid. So I decided to move up to Class A, have my permit and passed all endorsement tests thanks to the High Road Program. This site has been great to read everyone's stories,opinions,words of wisdom and look forward to share experiences of my own in the coming weeks!

Yes, I do. For the past 6 years I've been dispatched from their Gulfport, MS terminal. I'm on a dedicated flatbed account.

Confused but okay lol so you work their?

Haha! Don't take anything from me. Not only did I mess up your name, but my math isn't so good either. I'm actually coming up on my 6th year here at Knight. "Turtle" recently commented that I was slipping. Man, I think he's right!

Can anyone give me Run down on knight transport Pay school hometime trucks fright..

Okay if i go to a driving school i will need one that offers a room to stay in and some kind of meal beening that im on a frickin budget from paying lawyer fees child support other cost

Jason, your statement doesn’t make sense.

What do you mean you have to be careful? Are you saying you can’t afford a hotel if you must pay? Or are you saying there’s some reason you don’t want to stay in a hotel or eat free meals (you said “and gives meals”)?

Bening in driveing school

One problem with that I have to be careful with who gives motels and gives meals

What's that supposed to mean?

I've never driven for anybody who does that. I stayed in a motel last night just for grins. I gladly paid for it myself. I purchase my own meals too. I'm making plenty of scratch to take care of myself and several others also.

Are you wanting someone to take care of you? This is not a career for that type person. Are you trying to avoid child support and/or alimony? In all my years as a mentor and driver, I've never seen that request or requirement.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by it?

One problem with that I have to be careful with who gives motels and gives meals

If I were you, I would be applying everywhere possible at this point.

Well back looking for a cdl school again I lost out on boyd bros flat bed, flat bed is what I really want to do so I recently became divorced living in my car were ever I can lost everything so im looking for some top notch cdl schools maybe paid as well I know most require you to be out afew weeks im okay with 2-3 weeks out im waiting to here back from swift flatbed I look into maverick mclroy tmc boyd bro are no goes..

I was looking through on the sections about paid schools im lookin for a school that will pay you while you train and home weekends i was post to went with boyd bros put covid-19 put a hold on it when they came back up they told me they are over book and not takin anyone..

I'm hoping to go to a local company that will pay me plus get my class A CDL, all in my state. I want to be home on weekends. Anyone know anything about Boyd Brothers and how do you guys with wife and kids handle otr? I just want to get my time in and go home

Thanks just trying to figure somethings out befor i get their

I start class at a private school in a few weeks my major problem is backing any tips? I currently hold a class B with A permit i know they are two difference license. The school im going to Is jumping me straight to range time and backing, keep in mind i have never back a trailer of any kind...

Ive came across this afew times many have told me you cant 90 a spread axle

McElroy will probably teach you how to back a spread. We do some things a bit different. A true 90 with a loaded spread can result in a tipped over trailer or a tire popped off the rim.

I choose it cause of the hometime they offer plus they are local to me in alabama plus i heard they are a good company think they offerd .51 cpm

Im joning mclroy truck lines may 8th jist trying to prep take in all information and tripping they are going to be more focus on my backing and lane controll since i already have learners premit have expreince shifting and down Shifting

Are you trying to do this on your own? We highly recommend getting professional training. You're going to need a 160 hour training certificate when you start trying to find a job.

i know this company very well... if you only have your permit... your going to driving school right off the bat and then them.
