Profile For Michael T.

Take it easy, my friend; it was an honest question.. I really need to know if he misrepresented their program before I make my move.

Soooo, would you be implying that I was lied to by the Maverick recruiter who said they would be more than willing to take a person who obtained their CDL on their own?

You will be looked at by insurance companies as the ultimate, high-risk liability, and therefore not employable.

Insurance rates are doing nothing except rising in this industry. The only way to enter into this profession is going to be through professional schooling, with a certificate gained at the successful completion.

I'm not implying anything, and I'm not here to play word games with anyone that asks for answers, yet holds back pertinent information from the onset.

Once again, nobody is going to allow you to jump in their truck and tool around the area for a few weeks, while you "brush up on the ole driving skills". That is what company training, or a private school curriculum is for.

You asked for advice, then recieved advice from actual drivers. Do what you want with that factual information.

I recently lost my retirement gig due this COVID madness and after weighing the cost/time of perusing a different education and career path, I’ve chosen the trucking industry.. I’m not willing to spend the thousands of dollars a school requires for four weeks of training, nor am I willing to obligate myself to 1+ years to a mega that offers company sponsored training.. That said, I’m going the solo route, will have permit in hand by week’s end, and was hoping to find someone semi-local that would allow me to ride with them for a couple of weeks while I brush up on the ole driving skills.. If you’re willing, I’ll trade my time driving for your time and patience with coaching me along.
