Help!

Oh, I think I get it now - they have you paying them back at a faster rate than their tuition reimbursement.

Thank you all for the info...I truly appreciate the support of this forum:)..Since I posted this 4 ish hours ago my mind has been ALL over....BUT my initial first reaction and gut feeling is to stay with goin to the school I chose...I may have to couch surf or stay at a shelter to do so...I've been what they call the "working poor" for a while.. ..and this is my chance to get out of that...I can do it...Anyways, Onward...KaSandra ** Feel free to give any suggestions....No negative meant here..life happens sometimes..boy, it's kicking me in the A** lately..C est' la vie :)

I went to prime in sept. They advance pay for your bus ticket to MO, pay for your hotel and meals for the first week. Once you get on the truck with a trainer, they advance you $200 per week for meals. After a few weeks, they take you back to MO for the behind the wheel. Once you pass the test and get your CDL you immediately start getting paid $700 per week while you are with a trainer. When you acquire 30,000 during that phase, you go back to MO to upgrade for your own truck, at which time you will get paid per mile.

I truly love the company.. have met some awesome people. All companies have good and bad, so dont let any bumps put you off.

Great information!...I'm realizing there are some good companies out there with some pretty great programs...:0 )- I think the name of the game is just to keep persevering..I'm up studying for my permit at 4am.. ...I'm an early riser anyways so the trucker schedule works for me personally:)..Not sure what THAT has to do with anything..:)-again, it's early...

No. My first year with Swift they withheld $37.50 per pay period for a total of 52 weeks. Once beyond that, they deposited an additional $37.50 back into the check. It netted out to zero.

I was responding to Errol's post, and that's not what he said.

Never mind, it's not worth discussing further (unless someone else is interested).

Your snarly response is what I don't understand. I shared what was fact for me. You clearly were somehow insulted by that, sorry if that was the case, not the intent.

Yeah, sorry if it came across as "snarly", that wasn't my intent. I was just trying to say that what you said was different than what Errol said. I'm using a pad and the stupid keyboard is so hard for me to type on that I tend to get a little too "short" sometimes.

No worries Kurt, I can see how my reply created confusion. I think the difference is I went to school 4 years ago. I reread what Errol wrote, best to disregard the specifics of what I wrote because it's dated and it looks like Swift changed how they deduct for training. I guess my overall point is it all nets out to zero. Sorry for the confusion.

It's ok. I think I'm going back to lurking anway, since I just seem to be causing trouble lately :)
