Paid Trucking School W/Lodging Or Hotel FL
Topic 32374 | Page 3
Ok party people I have spent my day doing some research. I have called multiple companies and spoke w very nice informative recruiters. A few of them I could call bs on some things they said but nothing to say "I would never work for this company". 1) I posed as a non-cdl holder inquiring about co. sponsored or an soon to be in school. 2) I never once felt as if any company wasnt going to answer my questions without submitting an application. ~a couple of companies suggested I send one into get the process started. ~I spoke w what seemed like a liason for Swift. Once app submitted a recruiter would take it from there. 90% of my questions were answered. 3) Not every company was forthcoming w pay etc until they knew more about me. 4) I got a phone contact and/or email from every one I spoke to. Most did suggest "Please contact via email any questions". A few even said text. Millis, CRST, Swift, Continental Express, Trans Am, Knight, ODFL, Wel Companies, Western Express are some the co. I spoke to. I did not get a chance to talk to Prime. I badgered the poor guy from Western asking about their bad reviews etc. Hands down very professional. I could sense a lil bs but I would work for them in a heartbeat. Very cool dude! Trans Am stumbled a bit but very good conversation. They pushed lease a bit. Eh! Millis 100% straight up in my opinion. As was Swift. I also spoke w Epes, Mabe(Eden, Nc) and one more that do not train but will take new cdl holders from approved schools. So why not do some research before we argue. God bless. Remember we are here to "....Empathize, Encourage, Inspire!"
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
BMI:
Body mass index (BMI)
BMI is a formula that uses weight and height to estimate body fat. For most people, BMI provides a reasonable estimate of body fat. The BMI's biggest weakness is that it doesn't consider individual factors such as bone or muscle mass. BMI may:
- Underestimate body fat for older adults or other people with low muscle mass
- Overestimate body fat for people who are very muscular and physically fit
It's quite common, especially for men, to fall into the "overweight" category if you happen to be stronger than average. If you're pretty strong but in good shape then pay no attention.

Haven't seen THAT one around in awhile, though ! !
