Does anyone have any info on Mid american Driving Acadeny?
They say they are the training school for multipule trucking companies.
If you get pre aproved by one of their companies they train you in two week and then you go to one of their companies?
Any info??

Nope,but they've called me twice so I'm gonna return the call today and see what they have to say.
They say if you go to one of their approved companies all you pay is 50 bucks for the schooling.

I have a novel idea. Why don't you call them and get the info instead of waiting for someone else to?

"all you pay is 50 bucks for the schooling" Somehow, I doubt that. Will the company who hires a graduate take money out of the new drivers pay? There's nothing "free" when it comes to training. Does a community college in your area offer CDL training? Probably a better bet if it's available. BOL

All the offers I have seen are as follows: $50 a week out of your pay for a year. If you last that long then they take around $1000, and give you the rest back. If you quit before a year, you owe them the full amount minus whatever has been taken already. Or at least that is how it is put out there on their sites. The actual contract may be different.

Yeah it sounds like a scam to me,but I'm juat repeatin' what the website states.They'er lubing ya up for the final thrust.
I've called twice today and they don't return my calls so I reckon they can get someone else for the fire. :P

UPDATE.............

They called.
$2495 cash up front for school.....16 days = 160 hours or you can pay it out with a d/p ($300-$800)...amount determined by yer credit rating with a monthly payment of under $200.
Now if you agree to go straight to work for CRST then all you pay is a one time processing fee of $50 aftrer graduation.
