So even if yo have the CDL, why shouldn't they require you to sign a contract? They are putting you through the same training students without CDLs are getting.
When you buy a product or get a service without paying cash first you sign a contract for a certain length of time. Why shouldn't a company training you to do the job without you paying for it be able to do it?
I went through Schneider's training and worked a year after the contract was fulfilled. I've been making good money ever since that training. I'm very thankful to Schneider for that training.
Not saying every moment with Schneider or my local job has been a piece of cake. I've almost quit at least 50 times in my cab. But got over it before I was able to say someting stupid to a boss and end up with no job.
I'm just saying if you have no experience and want a job, you have to go through a company at some point to get started. Don't be surprised if the company wants something back for that training.
Good luck with getting started whichever way you choose to do so.

Well actually I think if you come in fresh with a CDL yes you don't have experience but you do know the basics of driving a truck,pretrips,hooking unhooking etc.
I don't think it's right at all that you'd have to sign a $4000 contract after you've spent $2500 to get a CDL already.
And besides $4000 to pay a company to go to work for them is really rediculous when you think about it.
