Any Companies Offer Training For Teams That Just Have Their Permits?
Topic 14705 | Page 1
C.R. England does, as do most of the training companies, I believe.
which has turned a 4 week program into a goin into the third week .... program
Did you by chance mean it turned into a third month program? Geez I hope not for your sake. You don't have to name the school but I'd love to get a little more info about your situation before advising you to move on. Are you with one of the company-sponsored programs or are you with a private school?
And to answer your question - yes, if your backgrounds are decent there is a good list of companies that would train you guys and get you out on the road. But like I said, I'd like to get a few more details about what's been going on where you're at before telling you to jump ship.

Yeeeep definitely meant three months which really sucks and its through the WIOA program , and basically theres alot of i guess favoritism going on because they allow 3 attempts to go to the dmv before your out of the program so the ppl thats been in the program and have already developed relationships with the instructors fail and then they ask for the ours (all the newbies) test dates and we get pushed back and its already hard as hell to get booked for the CDL road test in our state , none of the instructors have ever drove OTR either so theres also that , im really considering finding someone with a automatic truck and just going myself , cause before i heard about the wioa program i was about to enter primes apprenticeship program but unaware how they run their teams i decided this would be a better route

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
WIOA:
WIOA - Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (aka WIA)
Formerly known as the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), the WIOA was established in 1998 to prepare youth, adults and dislocated workers for entry and reentry into the workforce. WIOA training funds are designed to serve laid-off individuals, older youth and adults who are in need of training to enter or reenter the labor market. A lot of truck drivers get funding for their CDL training through WIOA.
