Recently I called and spoke with a Celadon recruiter to find out a little more info about their program. It looks great from their website. Very nice facility with dorms so you don't have to be in a hotel and bused to the campus, cafeteria, basketball court, etc. I do have a few questions though for anyone that has recently gone through this program. The recruiter said that once you complete the CDL training and head out with your trainer, you start making $0.18 per mile which is great considering that would be about $900 a week (team driving with trainer) which is a lot more than other companies pay during training which is why I want to know if this is true as it sounds too good to be. Also they said that once you complete your training and start your required team driving portion with another person at your skill level that you have a choice of driving team for 6 months at $0.15 per mile or 1 year at $0.18 per mile. I am wondering if this is true also as I would love to just take the 6 month part and be done with my training obligation that quickly. Any other great info anyone would like to provide about their training would also be great!

  • 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.
