Well it's owned by the same person who owns Swift.

When I went through their training it was more like training for 4 weeks while you wait for the guys in the class ahead of you to pass their CDL test first......

Then orientation for two days, then out with a trainer for 3-4 weeks.

I went to the Fontana course in October 2005, hopefully it has gotten better by now.

I really don't know to much about them but those reefer outfits like keeping you out on the road for 3 to 4 weeks. It is a start and a year will go by quick. I don't know your marital stus is but if you are single then it will make it a lot easier. This is a rough indusitry it will eat you up and spit you out if you don't hang on real tight

Why not look into Crete? They are a much better company both in terms of training and pay, and they will take newbies.
