hello bouncer, i got a question 4 u... I saw your profile in CFI webside which you are from NY. Which state school you are going to? i saw Central tech webside that their training price was 1500 for state, $3600 for out of state so How much you going to pay? Do u think that CFI is really good school for new drivers? thank you

1000 to Csntral tech 375 room and board 100 for the CDL.
26 cents per mile while your doing your training over $1950 pay for training not back for 3 or 4 weeks training.Then 28 cents for 3 months goes up from there.Plus quarterly bonus.Also CFI is the only company willing to help pay your schooling without a contract so if you decide 2 weeks after you start you don't like them you can quit without paying back the company for school.I looked at all the comanies and I think CFI was the best of the bunch.

You should see this page.. http://www.cfidrivers.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=3318 as I told you. CFI recruiter Christine explained very vell CFI dosent have school. They have agreement with 3 school. like Central Tech ,Crowder College and ASU Newport. their price more than 3k like christine says. i would like to post some1 else comment here; there's no hidden secret here ... CFI will pay the portion they told you ... what you MUST do is graduate ... report to work ... go out with the Finisher for a period of time ... and once you are assigned Your own tractor and you pull out on your first run ... then they send a check to the school for the remaining part - - they agreed to. ... CFI has the best deal around .... Now if you DON'T do these things ... finish school, completely orientation ( with no hidden DUI'S or accidents or high blood pressure , etc - trust me they will find out if a person is hiddening anything) and.. work with your Finisher and so on .... This is the only way they won't pay off your schooling ... Their an honest company for the most part. At least my experience has been good with them. ..... When I went through orientation ... we started out with around 30 people there and by the end of the 3-4 day's .... more than half the people were asked to leave .... they either didn't tell the truth about their past, or health reasons ... Now those people were expected to finish paying off their schooling.

That is so you can get your CDL.Each company does there own Phyiscal as well.Also as I understand you are a CFI employee right after orination soon as you pull that first load with your tainer hence you start getting paid.Don't hear much of ASU crowder or central tech are very good schools both I belive are PTDI cerified.Which some companies want as a prehire.

I went through Schneider in Dec of last year, spent 2 weeks with a trainer and as soon as the snow started falling in Jan...I was on my own.
