About Roadmaster Truck Driving School

I've narrowed it down to going to Roadmaster school or do the Pam sponsored training I'm leaning toward Roadmaster yet thay are expensive 6500.00 Pam is cheaper but I don't like the idea of a year contract plus I would like to drive a flatbed so any info on roadmaster would be appreciated I just want to thank y'all for the responc on my earlier ?

to me there's no reason to waste your money for training, that said,I was going to go through roadmaster in Orlando Florida, but they couldn't guarantee me a job, and the sales pitch was so try hard, and having to travel daily wasn't worth it, and I went for company sponsored training , and found out that the contract can be broken, and you'll end up paying around half of what roadmaster charges if you do, besides, you really want to stay with a company for a full year, because when you start jumping all over it doesn't look good on you, regardless of the reason you give for leaving.

Fuddruckers is right - don't worry about the contract at all because you'll want to stay with your first company for a full year anyhow. You're never going to establish a good reputation, get to know the right people, develop a good relationship with a solid dispatcher , and learn the inner workings of a company by jumping ship every six months. You have to put in your time and do all of those things to really have it good at any company. Nobody just rolls in, steps off the bus, and gets treated like a king with tons of great freight and top-notch treatment. So your goal should be to stick it out for a year with your first company.

I would say the decision should come down to money and preferences. If you have the money for private schooling the experience will almost certainly be better. You'll get more one-on-one instruction and the pace will be a bit slower. You'll also be treated a little better overall because at a private school you're a paying customer. At a Company-Sponsored School you're being given an opportunity to get the cost of training financed for you and then have a job with the company. So it's opportunity versus paying customer. It makes a difference.

I went to a private school (AIT) and was rather happy with the training that I got. That being said, my 'trainer' at Werner went to Roadmaster and I was surprised that he was not able to straight-line back. There seemed to other gaps in his training also. That may just have been him but I would not recommend Roadmaster to anyone.

I am a bit confused. Because your trainer could not do it that means you throw the entire school under the bus? And since you were trained by him I guess that means you need to go back through training cause you dont know how to drive.

Heck using that logic since there are a few bad trucker drivers out there I guess that means all of us drivers are bad drivers.

Let's not forget that there was one father that was a pedophile So that means all fathers are.....

I think you get the point. Think before you speak.
